Warming up

I had a very up and down week at work. I didn’t get much down time nor time outside. I must do better next week. Today I had my flute lesson and then after lunch my son and I went over to put up some
Christmas lights outside my Mum’s house. It didn’t take long and they look nice so she is happy. I gave her a chocolate Advent calendar - and she reminded me that it was only the second one she has ever had in her 80 years! She says they didn’t come in until the 60s when she was teaching.

Later on my husband and I went for a walk. It was already dark but we enjoyed seeing all the neighbourhood Christmas lights - I think that will be our incentive every day to get out and spot new ones. I always loved spotting Christmas trees in front windows when I was little - outside lights weren’t a thing for individual houses then. Last weekend I discovered the remnants of a bottle of Winter Pimms in the drinks cupboard. It’s been discontinued so I will savour the last few glasses. It’s so lovely and reminds me of the Apple gluhwein we had in Frankfurt last year. So cheers and stay safe!
