Well, what is there to say after Saturday's WOYWW? It was so lovely to put faces to names and it will be a different story today when I go commenting on the various blogs because those who were at the party I will be able to see in my mind's eye whilst messaging them. Good to see, also, those that I knew from the various crops I have attended. Thank you so much Julia for organising it.
Well, the last Christmas card has now been made and all are gone in the mail to be transported to various parts of the country. Don't laugh but I have decided to begin next year's crop of cards already. Mainly because after endless pointed circles I managed to get a couple of almost perfect ones. So few went out this year that I am making that my card for next year and production is already underway.
The tree is up as some of you saw on Saturday, the shopping list is done for the next two deliveries so there is only mince pies and ... wait for it ... a Christmas cake to make. Why so late making the cake you ask! Well I have not been able to get glacé cherries from the shopping order and this last week they appeared in stock. I love Christmas cake so much that I am not bothered if it doesn't get eaten until New Year or whenever, besides which there will be so much eating going on that it probably wouldn't get cut into anyway.
On the left are some tags I found in a cupboard - from years ago - made by friends and some of my own. Then my box lid (I use that to stand the figures on when colouring hence all the marks), the new figures and behind them my depleted collection of Promarkers. They have served me well but several have run out and others are getting there.
Still not tidied my desk up and been buying more of those little figures but this time via the Etsy shop rather than the stamps.
The news is full of the Covid 19 vaccine - various friends will or will not be having it - have you decided yet what you will do when it comes down to you? Me, I am having it despite one or two little niggles. Apart from necessary medical visits and the occasional walks I have not been out since March. Visiting a supermarket will be a whole new experience when it happens. So with the options being a) have the vaccine, b) stay in forever, or c) resume life and risk getting covid I think (a) wins for me.
