Books for Christmas from Amazon arrived today, ready to be wrapped and sent off to Australia for my son and daughter-in-law; and He had parcels of new parts and bits for our new television service and tomorrow the aerial man could turn up early to sort out why the old one was not fit for purpose.
And today I've been to-and-fro in my trusty MX5 (British Racing Green) with packages and baskets of stuff of mine, getting it to our new property, our soon-to-be abode for a while. Alice has been with me sometime, but then she was left with Him while I went back for another load. It was fun and it really felt as if things were getting moving. We're more than perfectly happy where we presently are, in a lovely 17th century village house, but as we need to be elsewhere, it's best that we get ourselves into our new home for the winter,, before the snow comes.
And before that happens, I need to get myself some gripper attachments for my boots, for I'm awfully good at falling over in the snow, always have been, and that just puts one out of action for a spell. I've even actually slipped and fallen over a puddle of magnolia petals one year when taking Hank out for his walk; and nursed a bruised and swollen ankle for a good week afterwards. And who is Hank, I hear you chorus, well, Hank was my daughter's dog but when she went off to university, I took on his care and daily walk routine. He lived to the grand old age of fifteen years and was a smashing dog.
More parcels, birthday this time for the dear SO's youngest granddaughter and one more parcel for me, because I bought myself a new winter coat today...yipppeee!
Turkey talking got me three fresh birds to freeze for Christmas time, with two just fitting very snugly into our new freezer and the third in the 'fridge tonight, awaiting collection, from another family member who's going to store it at her home. I could only get so near to the butcher's shop, in my little car, so the butcher's boy had to help me carry them. This, of course, enabled him to have a quiet ciggy on his return walk...and a breather, of course!
Well tonight we had a super supper of roast pork and apple sauce, lovely crispy roast potatoes and masses of fresh vegetables, and as I'd eaten very sparingly throughout the day, and so to had everyone else, we all had a smashing feast for the end of a very busy day; all cooked to perfection by the dear SO...he's a very good cook.
His first chore for the day was to fit our new wooden loo seat...it looks smashing, and then off he went to his hairdresser, and then to lunch with his daughter, while I was dashing about the town collecting my turkeys, returning some flat net dryers for my woollen jumpers and cardigans and walking Poppy and Alice. Which was fine but...my telephone was not working, so of course, I didn't know where He was?
Also not working for me today was my Internet connection and I'm not really sure why not, but our lives are a little topsey-turvey right now, with the renovating and alterations, so I guess I'm just a little jumpy and I do believe my computer is simply playing me up. The nerve of it!!
While He cooked, we watched some early TV and read today's newspapers, enjoyed a very nice G and T cosily relaxing in the sitting room and I flipped through my new magazine, which had earlier plopped thru' the letter box with the morning's mail.
Cheerio
