A day for dealing with things left behind this week.......well, they could wait, couldn't they??
Paperwork, housework, shopping and a long doggie walk for dear Alice - three times around the village field and we managed it all before it became too dark. With the nights drawing in, we shall have to get a move on and get out there before it's completely dark. Just as long as we take her out for three walks each day, Alice will be perfectly happy!!
And this evening, catching up on the newspapers for the last two weekends because we've been kinda busy , and there is now a pile of discarded newspaper waiting to be thrown out tomorrow and, thankfully, my fingers are not covered with newsprint!
I well remember when I was daily travelling up to London for work, and sometimes wearing white cotton gloves, just how dirty my gloves were at the end of the morning's ride? I bet you can imagine that...but you see some of us did, amazingly, wear white cotton gloves when going to London by train.
I also remember wearing my silk headscarf, on the underground, even when it was absolutely boiling and we were all gently humming with the heat; with everybody packed in like sardines!!
Mad hey, just mad!!
However not always mad...and this year, on this last day of November, I can happily say, I've actually bought and even wrapped up most of my family's Christmas presents, with only one or two little gifts still to find. Even my darling daughter is amazed at this state of things, for she is normally more organised than me, but she has been extra busy this year, with two lovely little boys to care for, her husband to feed and an interesting job to cope with.
Walkies time again, for Alice is pacing the carpet pile and giving me long mournful glances. Hey ho and off we go again.
Cheerio
