Weekend update

Friday the girls arrived, both grandma and grandpa were both still asleep. 

I heard the car door slam shut and jumped up. 

It didn’t matter. Grandpa was staying all day. So I could get things organised 

Even with the girls here. 

Ana and I went out to get a Christmas project started  

The toilet roll were all painted and left to dry  

I know what I want to do, but I’ll have to do a dry run and see what works best and what is easiest 

For Ana  

We did have fun painting them, and chatted about all sorts of things  

Meanwhile grandpa and Georgia were fast asleep.  How adorable do they look  

I love the way she’s cuddling his belly, that’s why grandpas  and grandmas have big belly’s 

So that grandchildren can cuddle in and be comfortable 

Well that’s my excuse anyway 

Friday night I finished the dragonfly square blanket.

So now there are four, no granddaughter will miss out  

I’ve gone back to the EPP

Until I decide what yarn project I want to do next  

I have a few I am really itching to start  so it’s a tough decision 

Hubby used what mulch we had in hand to finish off what I had started.

I’ve kept all the brown paper bags my groceries are delivered in, and I told him to use those to patch all the spaces with.

I didn’t check, so I’m not sure he listened.  I’ll just have to trust he did.

If not, well, it’s going to be his job to weed. 

All the usual housework is up to date

Ready for a new week to begin 

Soon it will be time to think about Christmas 

The planning has begun 

Stay tuned

  1. Grandpa has pretty darned good hip-extension too! The garden is looking smart. You mentioned black in a comment to mine - have you read about the blackest black paint ever created? It is patented! The artist who made it used it tp paint a hole in the floor of a gallery - so realistic that people afraid of heights wouldn't go near it.🤣

  2. What an adorable picture of contentment! My daughter had colic as a baby and for a while the only way she could sleep was draped over grandad's belly. No other belly would do.

  3. This is the second blog today to talk about Christmas plans. I guess it's pretty soon, but it doesn't feel like it yet. What a peaceful picture of grandfather and baby sleeping!

  4. What a sweet Pic of Grandpa and Georgia. Aren't grandchildren precious!
    I'm interested to see what you'll do with the loo rolls. I may save hours. Years ago I used to make Xmas crackers. Now thank goodness we can buy the real thing here
