Day 21

Writing again

For the first time since May I didn’t write and publish a blog post yesterday, so I’m doing it today instead.

I completely forgot after having had a lovely afternoon with friends, making Christmas wreaths.

My friend Maxine had organised it, and we all contributed different kinds of foliage from different places. I’d bought some bunches of festive foliage at the Buddhist Centre when I was there on Friday, and there were baubles, ribbons and lights that Maxine provided for us, along with some delicious snacks and drinks. 

Trev gave Lydia her tea while I was out so I didn’t have to leave early, and was pleased with my creation which is now hanging up on our front door.

I’ve got some more get-togethers with friends coming up over the next couple of weeks, and made a really good start with this one.

Day 16

Writing again

Lydi did very well with her new collar for the first time. It’s a Halti collar, designed to stop pulling. It will take a while for her to get fully used to it, but it did seem to make a difference.

I’m early with writing and posting Christmas cards this year, which is just as well as it leaves me clear to make a start on deep cleaning the kitchen and doing a few things to it that will hopefully help things along when we come to sell the house.
