a lady in the afternoon!
I slept *so* well last night. My own bed, with Ady in it rather than Scarlett (I adore that girl but I feel the optimal window for enjoying sharing a bed with her has passed and I’ve shared a bed with her a fair few nights during the last 13 years), a cold room rather than a too hot one and no concern about catching trains, ferries or dentist appointments in the morning.
This morning Ady and I were sorting out firewood, pulling out the whole wood shed, spacing out chopped but wet stuff so it gets a through draft to dry it out, chopping, splitting, bagging and stacking the bigger stuff. We have not been as on it with firewood this year as in previous years but have plenty there to get us through the next month or so and have ordered some from Mr Rhys. We do have a chainsaw and could do the whole thing ourselves but paying Mr Rhys £30 is a Good Thing to do for him and saves us a can of fuel for the chainsaw and several hours work so is well worth it.
We had lunch and watched some of the Adele at the BBC show from last week – she is very funny being interviewed and I love her voice. Scarlett and I watched a Chris Packham documentary about foxes and then I headed off for Crafternoon at Fliss’ while the others watched a Harry Potter film. Davies and Scarlett clubbed together to buy the box set of all the films when we were off and are wanting to watch them all again with Ady – I have, obviously declined to watch 😉
Crafternoon was ok. I felt a bit disjointed but that has happened before round there. Lesley came this time which was nice, I hope she comes again but suspect she may not as it felt as though we were all pretending to be ladies rather than being ourselves somehow. I think the combination of me, Fliss, Ali, Deb and Lesley isn’t a comfortable one. Lesley really doesn’t like Mike who is Debs’ husband and is dreading going back to work in February after her maternity leave, we are all conscious of not talking about directors stuff infront of Debs and Ali, who is away tomorrow on holiday for 3 weeks off Rum with a week in Fuerteventura in the middle, was very excitable and can be irritating when she is like that.  I crocheted most of a hat though.
I called at the shop to post some letters, collect the post and get some milk before coming home where the others were Harry Pottering still. Ady made dinner and we watched some early River Cottage episodes as we have the first series on dvd.
