  • Happy New Year

    There was no traffic on the way back, so made record time. Pleased we put Christmas away before we left so have come back to a clean and tidy house. Put the heating on as we drove back to take the chill off the house. The daily fail has an arrival about how there were…

    31st December 2024

    Stayed over in Chirk last night. The ADHD people called for 9 year old, the receptionist had failed to cancel the appointment after I called her, they also hadn’t had the ECG results so the appointment wouldn’t have gone anywhere.  I had a feeling this would happen but dared to trust the system. Played blankety…

    Christmas has been put away. The tree we had this year was different to previous and meant to be ultra none shed. I was going to chuck it out the window but when removing the decorations felt that the measles had become brittle so carried it out and only had to spent half an hour…

    The fog has receded! Going to clean the house this morning ready for friends visiting later. House tidy, lots of lovely food in the fridge. Successful evening spent eating and drinking with friends. And the children didn’t fall out! I’ve discovered that Archerss and Vimto work as a drink. Now watching Guardians of the Galaxy.

    When will this fog end? Hopefully tomorrow, but I think days of fog may be the most depressing weather for me. At least if it’s raining something is happening, bug fog is just damp, cold and miserable. Interesting piece on Radio 4 today programme on the history of pain and the loss of language to…

    Boxing Day

    It’s still foggy this morning. The 9 year old used his TV for the first time last night and this morning, he has followed the rules of when it can be turned on and has to be turned off. Went to parents for a beef dinner. It is foggy at their house too. It’s quite…

  • Christmas Eve

    Christmas Eve

    Today I have planted and watered my greengage tree, I’ve put it by the wall after the swings in the garden so that when I redo the garden it will be in the right place. We had Polish Christmas Eve food, with Beetroot soup to start and then the Bigos I made yesterday for mains…
