A Very MSE Advent 2025

Sunny but windy walk with the Rambling Girls today, followed by a blow out Christmas lunch.  I wore some sparkly Christmassy earrings.

I am totally not feeling it - today was 13degC and sunny. On the plus side I got 3 loads of washing done

Wrote 2 cards and wrapped 1 present- it's all progress!

Xmas jumper day at work tomorrow, so have put 1 ready to wear 😆

@LotsOfTea - sprout earrings could have hampered your running speed - could you repeat the experiment of 2 pints of tea v sprout earrings?

teabag of the day was Dorset tea strawberries and cream.  A nice delicate flavour that reminds me of summer.

I have wrapped Mr PIP's massive present (I did not expect the box to be that big nor that it would be delivered being glaringly obvious what it was!) and have written all the cards I need to, tomorrow (or day after) will be addresses and stamps on envelopes and posting

I kept my Advent resolutions by taking another couple of portions of frozen fruit out of the freezer to have with cereal (there's definitely real space in there now: not quite enough to go shopping to fill it, but space is space and I am proud of it) and using perfumes unearthed from the Toiletries That Never Get Touched. I'm back on Fenjal tonight. DH has collected my over-Christmas prescription.

I had lunch out with friends and bought a few more small gifts from the NT gift shop, and later started to spread out the stocking-fillers in the hope that I will find I have plenty for everyone and of course a perfectly equal number for each. This has never happened yet but I did find a couple of books I bought months ago for DH, which is good.

My advent celebration is a proper lunch at a local pub; one among 10 female beekeepers, celebrating the season. Lovely stuff. I have a brown sequin top I bought last year for Christmas and I shall wear that with either black trousers or a black long skirt. Staying with the little blue sparkly earrings. Still no cards written.

Yesterday I bought a small present for DGS3 and finalised my meat order for butcher. Will pop down later & let him know, also pay some more on the Christmas club, to make it easier on the purse later. 

Hope to wrap a few presents later.

I'm going full festive jewellery today with sprout earrings and Xmas pud necklace to work. If only it was cold I could wear my Santa hat (complete with woolly beard). As you can tell, I have no pretentions to bring cool! 🧑‍🎄

I’m going to finally apply from my passport when I get home. OAT. I’m not sure if it will take longer at this time of year to be delivered, though.

Bryan Adams was really good last night. He looks hot, especially for his age and his voice was still fab. 💕The woman next to me was saying she liked Tony Hadley and I agree he looks extremely good too.😘

It made me want to watch that Three Musketeers film after he sang that song he did with Rod Stewart and Sting. I might watch a Christmas film when I get home.🙂
