finalising Christmas shopping this morning...while the chappied comes to do the bathroom..there is just one wall which isn't tiled so it and the doors/skirting board need a re-fresh...and while he is here he can fix the wooden arm on one of the kitchen chairs which keeps coming off.. I like it so don't really want to ditch it for the sake of a little glue..plus it lasted my mothers life time[it was in her mothers kitchen] and now mine..so its a link with the past I know what you mean, mouse. I have a foyer chair that was in my grandmother's house. It's been recovered (by my mom), but otherwise still in good shape. Very nice to have an heirloom here and there. Hope your Christmas shopping went well.

my Christmas shopping went very well thankyou..BUT I did forget to buy wrapping paper...but will let daughter get me some next time she goes shopping and neither of us bought anything for our selves..yikes but we did indulge in a small box of chocs to share on the way home..and very nice they were too... ;)all soft centres in defference to my nearly healed sore mouth mean while the wind is getting up and being very noisey as it hurtles through the trees
talking of heirlooms...I had Grandpas smoking cabinet..and when we moved last time I sold it along with other things which wouldn't fit into the house...I always regretted selling it..and the year before last I was delighted to open one of my Christmas pressies to find daughter had found one identical..the only thing missing was the original tobacco pot...I was absolutely delighted and itnever fails to please me every time I walk past it

Good morning! Bright sunshine and cold temps. Working from home today so should be back here off and on. Stunned by the San Bernardino massacre. We never get used to the gun tragedies. This one is a really bad way to start the holiday season. Also, totally surprised at the Oscar Pistorius conviction. Goth topics have threads in Gates of Babylon Crime. Back later. Have a good'un. I hear you, Beth. When I heard on cable TV there had been another mass murder, it was almost too much to believe. At first, I thought they were talking about Co. Springs and then they said 14 dead. Surely, at some point, the people in this country will see there has to be better gun control! Assault rifles should not be easy to acquire. 2 www.thefederalistpapers.org/us/meme-explains-why-no-gun-control-law-can-ever-work

The thing I regret losing most was a little wooden shelf of the works of Shakespeare (the volumes were about 3 x 4 inches each) that set on my aunt's bedroom mantel. She left them to me, but the books needed to be rebound. I was going to have that done but the whole set got lost in a move. I had it wrapped and (I thought) secured in a dresser drawer, but, somehow, it turned up missing. Have lost other things over the years ... most often in moves.

Not cold and not very warm either. A light weight jacket feels good. I have to work a half day today to make up for a few hours I missed last week.

Don't give it another thought, mouse. It sounds as if you are better off with a weekend close to home this time around. It is not cold or windy here but chilly with clouds that are passing over the sun. I am thoroughly annoyed with myself for not going to the grocery store during the week. Weekends are always packed and jammed. The bright spot is that I can buy deli cranberry salad that is better than I can make from scratch. I am also going to treat us to the orange cranberry cookies from the bakery. Then, home to babysit my youngest grandchild. A real treat! I hope that everyone here is enjoying the weekend.

well and truly overslept this morning[due to a bad night] think I was feeling guilty at not going and supporting our band night...but I gather it was a success..daughter says I HAVE to show my face at all up coming functions as she got a tad fed up at being asked..where your mother..[as its unusual for me to miss social outings] any way two things coming up in the next week..a carol service of all the groups in our area..and our Christmas dinner...as ever what to wear is the over riding question weather wise the wind is a little weaker but the wet stuff continues to fall...and there is flooding country wide and more rain to come
