I've pottered today
I think most people are busy pottering today.
The dogs and I walked down the old railway track and Winnie in pure devilment stood like a stranded passenger liner mid path as thirty or so professional types on their speed bikes biked hard towards her
I am sure she enjoyed causing the strange gridlock as they all had to stop just for her and stood blowing kisses as the hard bummed Lycra bodies wobbled dangerously as sport shoes tip toed on the pathway.
I bought and wrapped my gifts, all in plain paper and string, dropped off parcles to trendy Carol and Animal Helper Pat.
The hospice called and asked if I could go in tonight to cover sickness
I could hear staff singing in the background
I'm Emailing letters to friends this afternoon....and will snooze in my armchair afterwards
Caroles from Kings
Mrs Trellis' Christmas cake with a slice of good cheddar

But the Christmas Card winner is "Carol's" simple fabric card!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a very contented new year! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteYou too, John.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS to the lucky winners! I'd hoped my "unusual/bizarre rat card" would win - But instead, I'll have to make a donation to my favorite charity myself, which is of course, just fine.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you John - And I'm cheering you on for all the best in 2020!!
Oh, and I love the Scottie gift bag in the background in your picture!
DeleteI've made a donation to Samaritans xxxx
DeleteYou are truly an example to follow in your giving and your compassion. Again, Merry Christmas, kind friend!
DeleteThat is a beautiful card - gives me ideas for next year.
ReplyDeleteIf you go in tonight then you won't be there on Christmas Day. A bit of a shame as it would be nice on Christmas Day. Anyway, I like card of fabric. It is a good one. RXxx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, John! And of course, to all the animals too.
ReplyDeleteYou probably didn't even get my card yet. Lovely decorations. A Happy Yuletide to all in the cottage....and peaceful tidings.
