Good morning.
Welcome to December, 2019.
It's chilly here in the eastern U. S., but no rain or snow.

another hard frost... and followed by brilliant sunshine making it a good walking day for those walking the hills.... daughter says she saW several groups of serious walkers when she was on her constitutional morning walk earlier.....she has now gone off to help out at the craft center in the next valley..as the lady who runs it said she needed help in the run up the Christmas.....apart from all the crafts every thing from patchwork quilts to hand carved waling sticks.. paintings and wood turning...there is always tea/coffee/soup.. various cakes and pastries and all of it home made...plus its a bit of a meeting place artists/crafters/turners/and potters so there is never a shortage of interesting conversations ………[Brexit is a banned conversation needless to say]
i dropped a bag of mints yesterday.. so had better retrieve those that rolled under my bed... or Jakey will be in 7th heaven or mint paradise if he finds them tomorrow

Back from a 2 day Louisville jaunt. Had a good time.
That all sounds like great fun, mouse. I'd love having a craft center near here. It would be an ideal place. We have lots of little shops for selling things like that along with baked goods and tea/coffee.
Fret will be away for a few days. I know we'll all miss him and I hope he has a nice time.

A lovely, long weekend. Good food and good company, some I had not seen for quite a while.
Looking forward to the new month.

verra verra cold..... thick frost still making the fields white ….the earlier sun shine didn't make any sort of warming impact
next time I go t the craft center I will take some photos...I get all my birthday cards there.. either photos/copies or hand painted... and all crafts are made by local people ..some of the silver ware is really good.....
jakie is refusing to go out side...he really doesn't like the cold... I don't blame him

Bright, sunny day, but chilly. Jacket weather.
A town not far from here used to have a shop called The Christmas Store. It contained nothing but Christmas things - decorations, all kinds of gifts, candy and fresh baked items. It was open from noon until 8:00 pm 365 days a year. The prices were outrageous but they had plenty of customers and remained in business at least 10 years that I know of. The owner was hit with serious illness and they finally closed. They are missed.

no frost during the night... so a higher temp this am but still really cold ... the sun is shining and the sweep is coming to clean the chimneys
I see trump has landed... Boris is determined to steer clear asd contact will lose him large numbers of votes
Just as every time Hillary Clinton is on tv the leavers gain votes[she was
s here again] with her daughter both on the Naughton show over the weekend ….
Queen is to host a dinner at the palace.. luckily the queen doesn't stand or fall by such things … even though hard pressed by the antics of her less than decerning progeny

Hillary can't hold a candle to Trump for attention getting antics. It's what he lives for. No worries for the U. K.. He seems set on getting his headlines by bashing France this time around. |

Today is cloudy and chilly.
It's supposed to remain the same but get colder Friday with a chance of snow.
I'm glad we took our 2 day vacation this past weekend instead of putting it off. We may actually have a white Christmas.

Trump always tries to push his meanness off on the other guy, but I don't think Macron is going to put up with very much of that. |

It is definitely going to get colder as the weekend approaches. I noticed at the hardware store this morning they had set out shovels and bags of road salt.
I did my shopping to last a week and a half so am not concerned.
I do have to wonder what we would need to do differently if we had bought the dog we went to look at a couple of weeks ago. We were tempted. It is a beautiful white Spitz, 16 months old.

France.....the opportunistic leader of the French needs a good battering macaroni is trying to survive the awfulness he has brought down on the heads of the French people via the eu and not supporting his own people and setting armed thugs upon them little man syndrome with built up shoes trump isn't bashing France.. he is just reminding macron of a few important facts about isis prisoners[does France want some more ],, France not paying its way in NATO.....and the yellow vests problems … very restrained... and the increases in tax of French goods to the states....nothing important.....just usual political jostling |

beautiful sunshine again... a light frost nothing serious.....
the sweep came and later we will light the fire in the stove and see how well it raws….we don't use it all the time as just flicking a switch is much easier... but is there anything better than a roaring fire when the stove doors are open or having it just gently heating the house on cold winters days .....
