Busy busy

This morning I decided it was time to put the winter weight duvet on the bed!!! I slept with a hot water bottle last night too…..
all because there is Siberian Winter on its way!!! Apparently. Who knew?

This morning it feels soft weather as the Irish say. No wind, or very little any way. A dull sky but not heavy. Washing out on lines. A typically nice autumn day.

What am I doing? Making Christmas present labels amidst all the other chores I have on my list this week!!! I'm sitting here because I am letting the floors dry downstairs. I'm saving the upstairs til tomorrow. I am pacing myself. Ha!!!

This coming weekend the girls and I are off to Kasteel Haarzuilens to the Christmas Fair there. I went lots of years ago now, and thoroughly enjoyed it so we have decided to give it another go. It's Ann's birthday this Wednesday so it is her treat I suppose one would say. Last year is when I fell on black ice and did my knee in, so not wanting a repeat of that incident please! Guess that is why I am watching the weather like a hawk . . . . .luckily I am not the one driving so I can relax, sit back and enjoy the ride.
Before I make any journeys in my car there is a visit to the garage booked. I am going to Zoetermeer at the end of the month but not before I have parted with barrel loads of cash to the mechanics at Kwikfit!!
I need two new tyres which I did know about, wipers, which we can do ourselves, and then goodness only knows what with the other problems Sooty has! I am preparing for the worst case scenario and hoping it will be a better outcome than that. PLEASE.

I am wanting to knit something at the moment. I know I have several other on-going projects but like another friend of mine not too many kilometers from here . . .no names please . . .I like to start new ones before the others are completed!!! I suppose with Christmas coming up I am thinking what I can make as presents, and Becci is always appreciative of something in the clothing line. Arm warmers are on my list for her. Or a cowl . . .but then round needles are not what I am used to at all. Hmm….more thinking required.

But first - coffee and lunch.
