This morning was firewood. It was sort of raining and not very nice but this afternoon was dreadful so definitely the right way round to spend the day. Ady unloaded the wood from the car onto the croft while I split and chopped four rounds / four bucketfulls. Hoping to get more done tomorrow / Sunday / Monday and have a decent stash to see us through the next couple of weeks. Every year I have excellent intentions of being more on it way back in the summer but every year we are not.
Back in again for lunch and the weather utterly stopped anything else from happening outside. I made mince pies, marizpanned and iced the Christmas cake and made pizza dough for dinner. Ady and Scarlett watched Christmas films on Netflix, Davies did stuff on his Doctor Who forum. It was all very companionable and nice to be inside all together. I finished Fliss’ secret santa gift – a candle in a jam jar which I have now decorated, a jar of home made cranberry sauce which I made a nice label for and a little crochet Christmas decoration in the shape of a wreath with holly and little tiny bells. I think she will really like them all 🙂
Hmm, short but sweet today!
