- Today started early for a Sunday, when I crept downstairs and curled up on the sofa in front of the Christmas tree to enjoy the glow of and lights and the smell of the fir.
- Watching Ginny's pupils' concert on Youtube. All real gems!
- Lighting the fourth advent candle! Only one more to go now, which will be lit on Christmas Day!
- The snow is still here (although it's turned to ice) and the dogs just love to roll on it!
- Working together (with no falling-out) to get the Christmas Tesco order sorted.
- Going to collect the greenery from the garden: ivy, holly and spruce.
- Even though I always end up with scratches, I still love putting together the greenery into sprays and garlands.
- Seeing the lights that Judith and Ginny have been putting up, watching the house turn Christmassy!
- Getting a certain something fixed in the house - I won't go into details but my goodness! What a relief!
- Sitting together, somewhat leisurely, for cups of tea and Christmas biscuits. Simple, yes, but moments like these can't be recaptured.
- Looking for footprints in the snow, and finding some we couldn't identify. A mystery is always exciting!
- Touching the soil in my raised bed, and marvelling at how shoots can still push through even though the surface is rock hard.
- Orlando (sprocker) stroked Jess (cocker). I wish I'd got it on camera, as it was so cute.
- Having a lovely warm bath after working in the freezing cold conservatory throughout the day.
- Having a mix-match dinner: it always feels like the build-up to Christmas when dinner is made up of lots of different parts.
- I'm not a football fan, but it was lovely to watch Dad, Ginny and Judith getting so excited to see the World Cup Final.
- Looking through the Bath Novel Award teasers. None of them look like they could be mine, but it was fun reading them as they came up.
- Introducing Jess to Rusty, the singing Christmas dog we won at a tombola! I wonder if she'll learn to sing as well as Rusty.
