Friday Chat Day

 Hello friends

Welcome to another round of natter - Friday Chat Day.

Compared to previous natter days this one is shorter as 

it has been a work work work week.

Let me start by sharing some flowers which are the nicest thing in my
conservatory right now.

For my birthday, the boys bought me a monthly flower subscription.

Such a nice idea, the gift that keeps giving.

These are already a few weeks' old so lasting amazingly well.

Conservatory news (thrilling!)

I am doing a happy dance today as the plasterer is coming and tomorrow

the electrician.  I will no longer have just plasterboard,

dangling plug sockets and no lights.

By the weekend (once I tackle the dust) I should be able to move stuff 

back into the conservatory (piles of boxes) and at least get the 

Christmas decorations up, I am very late this year.

It is hard to feel festive when the house looks like something out of Hoarders!

This has helped me feel a little festive though,

one of the decorations in our reception at work - adore the animals

at the foot of the tree.

I'm not sure I'll be returning to the office now until next year after Boris' announcement,

very sad for all the venues that were hosting Christmas lunches, parties etc.

Crochet

I'm making a scarf - shock it is not a blanket!

I needed a smaller project to concentrate on at the moment.

I have only got this far because I ran out of yarn -

words I did not think I would utter for a long time.

Truth it, it is specific yarn in a specific colour (Stylecraft - Peony)

so waiting for it to arrive.

The pattern is from YouTube and is a lot easier than it looks.

Once finished I am returning to blankets - of course.

Charity Kit

Just a few kits remaining if you missed out on this month's kit,

please pop across to the blog post here.

Also thank you for your understanding moving the kits to 

alternate months, next one is February. 

I am still happy to receive charity ideas too please.

Telly

It is definitely that time for trashy Christmas films on

Netflix and Prime - they are so bad they are good!

They all follow a similar pattern which is laughable.

A Castle for Christmas - Netflix

This one definitely tested me - really not sure what to think

of Brooke Shields in this.

But the set designers are amazing, possibly some of the best 

Christmas decorations and bucket loads of fake snow.

And that rounds up my week, they go by in the blink of an eye

at the moment.  

I hope you are all keeping well and your 

Christmas plans are on track.

Take care friends.
