At last the living room has come together,
the new carpet has arrived.
Its like living in some posh woman’s house.
It won’t be long before it’s messed up with all my stuff.
I’m even thinking of ditching the Christmas decorations this year just so it doesn’t get cluttered up again.
Theres a few things on the window bottom and I’ll add some twinkly lights to make it a bit more festive.
The Christmas cards are usually artfully displayed in a nice basket as I don’t like them scattered all over the place. I’ve got a vintage music case I’m going to use this year and a little picnic basket.
Wednesday is our day for shopping at the little open market of Bacup, ten minutes up the road from us. We buy fresh fish, meat, fruit & veg and treat ourselves at the patisserie stall. It’s lovely chatting with the market traders who we’ve really got to know during these strange times.
On the way back home we stop off at the little Tesco Express for milk and other necessities we can’t get on the market. The staff always ask how we are keeping, and if only one of us goes in they always ask “Are you on your own this week”. Its a lovely friendly local store.
Once the shopping has been washed and put away its time for a late lunch and a chilled out afternoon reading, doing crosswords from the weekend paper or generally fiffing and faffing about.
It’s surprising how quickly Wednesday comes around. It’s the only day we have a plan.
Philip has been working on this little pedal car. Here it is after a respray in Racing Green. I’ll post some before and after pics when I get them off his camera.
This morning (Friday) we’ve had a flurry of snow, thankfully it’s not sticking,
and I’ve just finished reading Katherine May’s book “Wintering”
It’s a lovely moving read, perfect for this time of year. Even though it was published this year, it was obviously written before the pandemic and I wonder what the author thinks and feels now and if she would write it any differently if she could have seen what was to come.
Stay safe everyone
Lynn
