Yawn yawn, wakey wakey autumn 2017

Gooood morning fellow WW'ers :santa wave:

So sorry to read that toppers! Healing vibes winging their way to you. As for the not so great news ... any chance of turning them around? If not, then I'll throw in some positive vibes with the healing ones and keep my that if things can't get any better right now, then at least they don't get any worse for you.

You never miss a trick!

I love that!! Might have to make one for our table this year; thank you for sharing Do you make christingles too?

Had our staff Christmas meal last night and I went on my own (t'other half working). The drive there wasn't too bad, but, still managed to arrive late Feeling embarrassed, I sat in the first vacant seat (it was one of those rare - very rare - occasions I was wearing a skirt and heels and was happy to sit sooner rather than later) but only realised it was the wrong seat when, seconds later, a placemat, cracker, cutlery, serviette and the starter were being handed along the chain of people to where I had sat Realised I had originally been placed next to the other female single and then felt bad for messing up the seating plan. When the starter was finished and before the main course began, I packed up my place setting and returned to where I should have been Think I got away with it
The food was "ok", nothing to complain about, but not one you'd write home about. The company was great and as I was (eventually) sat next to people who originate from Czech and Norway, it was very interesting to contrast and compare how the season is celebrated. I'm considering applying for multiple nationality so I can extend Christmas to incorporate all traditions :chris-win: Wasn't looking forward to the drive home as much of it is through country roads. I won't drink and drive but those who do would be using those same roads to avoid being caught so I wanted to get away before closing time. Mission accomplished

Today was going to be card writing day ... but I've forgotten where I've put them I'll begin the hunt when I've had my cuppa, they'll be somewhere "safe"

Enjoy what is left of the weekend, smiles and vibes for all xxMxx

 

Good day everyone
I'm late again. I spent my morning removing the sticky from my kitchen. I baked 80 dozen cookies yesterday and made up my trays complete with fudges, Christmas cake and candy canes. Took me nearly 10 hours. So I waddled (quality control all day) upstairs to bed without tidying anything. The kitchen was a disaster so it took me this morning to clean it up.

And I've still got 1/2 an hour of my show left with nothing to do but watch whilst sitting with a mug in my fist.

Have a super day and play safe.

 

Are you pregnant?

Just how far gone are you!!?????

 

Pot/kettle?

 

Blubber - just a spare tyre made of blubber. That's why it's great to be in Canada in the winter. We blubber up and then put on big puffy coats to disguise it and no one suspects...

 

In Britain, we put on dark glasses to hide the blubber effect: big puffy eyes!

 

It's not mine, I only pm'd her

 

Hello, late Sunday night here.
@CanadianLori ---80 dozen cookies, are you kidding me. wow.

made my apple cranberry walnut loafs last weekend, 6 of them for gifts.
don't bake much. No one to eat it, and certainly don't need the calories.

Anyway, currently, a nice martini in hand. relaxing Sunday evening.

Hope all is well.

 

I love baking @redstar and I have a lot of friends who don't. I make trays and gift them. Really was impressed with a new recipe for eggnog fudge that I added to the trays this year. Also lots of christmas cake, mince tarts and cherry tarts. It's only once a year for that kind of hand out.

Putting on my bigger pants due to quality testing

 

Good morning all, Have a good day stay warm and dry and above all safe and well.
God bless.

 

Good day everyone
@shiney I have baked for various good causes. Last Christmas I baked 3 dozen loaves of specialty breads for a bake sale, plus cooked fudges and things to add to the table. Thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I figure if I'm going to put on a little weight over Christmas, so should all of my friends and they will all receive a tray of cookies to help them along. If we all get wider in proportion to each, well, it won't be at all noticeable

I'm going to be pulling on my boots today to go out to the wood pile and bring in some to stock up by the fireplace. I need to get into one of the small greenhouses and bring in a flat of pots for my carnation seedlings. So nice to garden year round

Have a good day everyone and play safe!

 

Morning later people

Lovely day here

Just seen a Magpie pulling a seagull by the tail feathers

Have a good day everyone

 

Well done that magpie...
