Twinkle Twinkle Little Star........

 
As with every previous year R and O traditionally have to start their Christmas by building and decorating our tree. They both get so busy with work and other commitments that this year it actually had to happen before November was totally finished. 

We all thought the lights looked better on R than the tree, tricky to keep her plugged in though! 

Finally finished and looking very festive. 

Hubby and I were left to clear up and then do the little tree in the dining room. 

And put up the extra lights. 

Hubby also attached the icicles to the guttering outside, so a good festive sparkle inside and out. 

I'd seen a recipe for air fryer bagels made with just Greek yoghurt and self raising flour. I couldn't get it to form a good dough and so it was sort of sticky dollops that landed on the baking tray that I threw into the oven (I've a very small air fryer that would have taken far longer cooked two at a time).

They didn't look pretty and I couldn't see any resemblance to bagels but they tasted OK. I won't bother making them again. 

Two days running we've managed a really short shopping dash locally and I've ordered a few bits online so I feel I don't need to panic just yet. All my cards are written, posted with royal mail or with our local scouts, and only a few left to hand deliver. 

So pleased I've always kept lists. Off to check mine again now and see what needs doing today. 

Enjoy your week.
