So, who wants to help ... to frivol in the cellar? (Part 1)

Just made a wall hanging for Thursday’s crafty group

They want to learn how to make a garland but I think a wall hanging with bows and balls and whatever they fancy attached to it is more achievable in our allotted time

I have also dismantled a cheap Aldi wreath to make my effort

So far it is delicately adorned with a bow some cones and a bit of ribbon with a few balls to give it the idea of decorating a bit of wired sitka spruce chopped up into twigs

Sounds lovely, Twellsy.

We have taken delivery of two stairgates, in anticipation of Christmas visitations and safety of tumbling toddlers. That’ll be a grand job for next week, as we are currently in discussion regarding their installation and enough already.

Dinner will be home-built pizzas with insalata caprese.

Plenty of mustard in mine, please. I seem to be ‘streaming’ with cold. Sigh. Have needed to cancel brass-cleaning at the kirk (I like brass-cleaning), meal out with elderly friend and might need to cancel friends coming round, tomorrow for dinner and others coming round on Friday, for coffee and mince pies. I am feeling very inconvenient. Meep.

Meep! of sympathy. Plenty of clear fluids, wee Bee (so no olive in the Gin).
Brass cleaning is great fun! Or so I found it when my grandmother permitted me to get involved.

I prescribe the Irish cure

Place a hat on the bedpost and go to bed with severial bottles of whiskey and drink until the hat moves

At that point you won’t care about illness

I am treating illness with the contempt it deserves, Twellsy. It can only last so long…

Cauli, cashew and pea curry was good enough.
