Prior to Christmas I started working on pushing up my fitness levels. Nothing too drastic as I'm a realist and knew that Christmas would mean little progress would be made but it would give me an opportunity to start building up my stamina and mileage. Over the Christmas period I have increased the distance I … Continue reading Heading in the Right Direction
In the Mad Dash to Christmas
This is a catch up post really and if I hadn't of been so busy enjoying Christmas I might have posted in earlier, but I stayed away from my computer over Christmas so I'll post it now. Since June my sewing has, when time allowed, been focused on completing a Shepherd's Bush stocking for my … Continue reading In the Mad Dash to Christmas
Hello 2020
A new decade - I have to be honest I'm not keen on them. 1990 saw husband number one killed, 2000 saw husband number two turn out to be the unfaithful, 'my vows don't mean anything to me' sort. To be fair 2010 reversed the trend, so lets hope 2020 continues in the same way. … Continue reading Hello 2020

However having just had a new floor laid in the dining room it was a learning curve as now I have laminate floor to clean in one half of the house instead … Continue reading Christmas Countdown Day 7
Christmas Countdown Day 6
Chutney and shopping. Food shopping is one of two chores I hate more than anything and so I try to get up early(ish) on food shopping day and at least avoid the crowds and reward myself with something special for breakfast upon my return. Upon returning from the shopping, which included the ingredients for this … Continue reading Christmas Countdown Day 6
Christmas Countdown Day 5
Today my role as Chair of the camera club took priority. Following on from last night's meeting there were emails to be sent dealing with issues that arisen and needed following up on. However once they were done the most important task was to make a start on the quiz for next week's Christmas Party. … Continue reading Christmas Countdown Day 5
