Everyone exchanged gifts this morning. I had bought the other three a pack of Cadburys Creme Egg biscuits each. Apparently they are delicious. Davies had made Scarlett a book which went down very well. Ady bought me a bar of posh chocolate from Jinty’s. Well technically he didn’t buy it as he put it on my tab so I will buy it tomorrow, and I also chose it but somewhere in there was a thought or something. Scarlett was the one who went all out and made gifts for everyone including Humphrey and Bonnie. I got a hand carved dibber with Mummy carved into the wood.
After Popmaster Ady and I walked down to collect the car from the village – we also grabbed four sacks of wood, then brought it back and unloaded it – animal feed and vegetables from yesterday along with firewood. I carried one sack of wood and the veg up the hill then chopped wood while Ady brought the other three up. It’s pretty wet so we’ve bought lots of it in to dry out indoors a bit. It’s burning okay but will coke the flue up I suspect.
We had lunch and then the kids had showers and then I made popcorn and we all watched Frozen (again, we’d seen it once before Christmas), I brushed Tarly’s hair and sorted out her hair wrap which was coming loose.
Ady went down to the village to help Mike move some heavy furniture downstairs ready for a van coming on Tuesday. The kids and I listened to music, did drawing, played DS, did some more sock knitting. Tarly made the pizza dough for dinner.
We ended up with a late dinner as the gas ran out mid cook, so Ady had to go out in the rain to swap bottles over. Everyone was late to bed and as I have work in the morning I should probably be off myself.
Noooo! Don’t bring your wet wood inside (worrying about your damp issues!). Scarlet’s valentine gift is so thoughtful and lovely – made me smile 🙂
ffs, I swear I typed double t – the internet ate one.
It was me wot stole it. I fancied one.
