    Busy Friday again, shopping done and put away. Some batch cooking done for the next 2 weeks or so. 
    Christmas tree is ready for the baubles on, the DGC are doing that with me after school pick up . I am actually glad to put my decorations up this year. Have posted all my Christmas cards this morning, I just wanted them done . Still have a few local ones to write  but they will be hand delivered . 
    My dad wasn't feeling too good this morning, I hope he doesn't get unwell , I definitely don't want him in hospital again. 
    My SIL in Australia has  been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer this week and the prognosis isn't good. She is only 52 , I do hope the treatment works , her two youngest are only 17 and 12. 
    Can't wait to pick the DGC up they always make me happy.

    Sorry to hear about your SIL, it’s amazing what can be done nowadays so hopefully the treatment will be a success.  Fingers crossed your dad feels better soon.

    Enjoy your time with the GKs.

    My cards are the same cards I keep getting out year after year. I have to try and remember if I sent so and so that card last year 🤣Determined not to buy any more until they’re all gone though.

    All housework done , seemed to spend ages on it today. It could be the coffee breaks in between. Been for 2 walks today , it is so dark now it's like nighttime . 
    Going to get a coffee and watch another trashy Christmas film , or read my escape to the chateau book.
