We spent the New Year long weekend up with DS and family. It was quite wet to say the least, but we did all get out for at least one good walk:
We had a lovely if tiring time. She is a lively and very bright lady and in the few days we were there, celebrated New Years Eve, New Years Day (our Christmas with them) and her 3rd birthday, all of which involved presents!
DDiL cooked some lovely meals (one of the recipes we pinched off her), despite feeling very under the weather still. Poor lass, she has been off her feet for weeks and just can't get to see her doctor, absolutely shameful.
Once back home all the washing was done as quickly as possible and dried indoors (not using the dryer). Our radiators generally get quite warm in the 1 1/2 hours they are on in the early hours, so any moisture from the washing on them, evaporates quickly. For the most part, we are still managing to keep warm with them on for that time, plus three or four 10 minute firings during the day. This relatively mild weather is helping.
We also managed to finish our Christmas jigsaw started mid December. It was quite tricky for a 'normal' one:
It sounds like a lovely New Year, walks, fresh air and presents ... what's not to love about that. :-) And lots more new jigsaws too. xx
ReplyDeleteAll good and nice jigsaws to boot!
DeleteI love that jigsaw. Have fun! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is rather nice isn’t it?
DeleteSounds like a wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteI miss doing jigsaw puzzles. We have cats now and they like to purposely mess it all up! lol. I've been toying with the idea of getting two big bulletin/cork boards. Doing the puzzle on one, and the second can be the cover when not in use (can even store it somewhere if I choose). Either way, they are enjoyable and relaxing. And contagious! I can start one, and leave it, and then everyone else in the house will pause to try to do a bit lol!
Very contagious. We have a fold away jigsaw mat, but cork boards would be cheaper.
DeleteWhat a lovely time you had. I do hope your daughter-in-law gets better soon and gets to see a physician.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
No joy doctor wise but her cough has gone thank goodness.
