Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

I didn't do any of the things I'd thought of doing. OH wanted to go to our local town to pick up a couple of things he'd ordered so I went with him. Then I watched Gardeners' World and had a ham sandwich. After lunch a log delivery arrived. I had to stack them because they were blocking the way out for OH's car.

 

I have been organising a secret santa gift and Christmas gifts for my cousins. Much as I dislike Amazon, I have resorted to them as a way of easily sending them. I bought my SS a wax covered red Amaryllis; I have never seen them before, but picked one up in the GC this afternoon, for a friend I am seeing next week. Quite unusual, in that they do not need soil or water. Probably good for those who are clumsy with watering!

 

Good afternoon everyone. It has been a dull and dreary day here too so not much done outside apart from some sorting of materials for the various dustbins. I've done a lot of knitting as well now I've settled for the evening - looking forward to Strictly Blackpool.
Thanks for the heads up about the bulbs @Penny_Forthem. A real bargain there. I have to 'fess up that I have never had much success with tulips though. Oddly enough I was reading about wax 'no water' amaryllis myself the other day. I got a standard, pre planted one in Tesco when I went shopping. Can't wait for the first green tip to show through.
I remember you telling us about the leather coat sans lining the other day @Obelix-Vendée.
Our Christmas Fayre is December 8th @Blue arbour. I will be having a marathon baking session before then. Last year I bought a lot of chocolate coins for 'Santa' to give out to all his visitors. We have a lovely old gent who volunteers every year to be Santa. All he wants is picking up and then dropping off at home afterwards - we can't run to Rudolf and a sleigh though.

 

Signing out for tonight Keep warm everyone. See you in the morning.
