The Wrapping Week.......

 Turned really chilly at the weekend and wet but still managed a cuppa outside on Saturday with Daughter and R so the dog could have a garden run. 

Sunday Hubby had requested Italian style meatballs on pasta, so I made a very simple tomato bolognaise sauce. As I was leaving the room with Hubby's in hand I heard something drop to the floor hitting a few things on its way. Sure enough when I returned I discovered it was the large serving spoon that had been perched on top of the tomato sauce. So I cleaned the cooker and the floor then turned to throw the kitchen paper in the bin and realised most of my kitchen now looked like a chicken pox breakout. I cleaned up then finally sat down with mine. Monday and I'm still finding splashes on the front of the freezer and up various walls!             

Back in the summer when Daughter had a bit of a sort out of the pottery stuff lurking in our shed she decided these pots were not worth glazing so I rescued them. 
Covered with hessian or wool and painted with acrylics and ready to use as gifts. (Don't think the recipients read this blog) 
Really sunny and mild on Monday and very pleasant for our on-your-own-drive coffee morning.

Hugh Grant was a Graham Norton guest and spoke about this so we watched. Six episodes and it kept us guessing and doubting our guesses right to the end. 

In total contrast Hubby loves all the corny Christmas films. This one I watched with him. 

Wednesday evening had been advertised as the Doorstep Carol Concert supported by all the local radio stations. 
Obviously no group photo as we are all so far apart, but thought you'd want proof we froze for the cause (lazy me sitting) 

And every day I've been wrapping!
