Good Morning Sunday 17th December 2023

Good morning from s somerset. It is going to be bleak all day, the whole day, no rain, just dark and unpleasant

Very thankfully I finished my skirt and battled to make the hem good. I had used slippery fabric which must have slipped when cutting out. It turned out very nice but I had to use a chalk puffer to get a decent hem.

Today I must get that top cut out for dgd as it is needs to be finished next week. I will relax into my personal winter hobbies when the clothing gifts are completed. Archers for me today and some nice food and I will carry on with my book

Have a good day

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I’ve no idea what the weather is like but it doesn’t feel particularly cold.
Church this morning at one of the smaller churches in the Benefice. A snack lunch and then OH and I will go on a Christmas tree hunt. I hope there are some left! Assuming there are some left we’ll leave it in water overnight and I’ll decorate it tomorrow afternoon. Chicken casserole for dinner tonight and steamed treacle pudding. I may make a batch of clotted icecream too as we’ve run out.
I remember Christingle services GM. My children always went along probably thirty years ago. I don’t think the current vicar at my village church (which I don’t attend for a myriad of reasons) is interested.
Have a wonderful day.

Good morning from a dry Bristol. Being dry doesn’t mean sunny, if yesterday is anything to go by!
When at church for the coffee morning, I received a text from DD asking if I knew about their Christingle that afternoon. No, I didn’t but would love to go, to seethe girls do their thing. Lovely little service, the girls did well - Iris, who has been struggling to read, had got on in leaps and bounds. I came home for dinner.
I took a spare orange for a neighbour. She had never heard of this tradition and was moved to tears at receiving one.
Don’t know why, but I was almost beyond tired yesterday and struggled to stay awake in the evening. I didn’t sleep particularly well.
Today, my own church has the 9 lessons and carols in the early evening. I shall have to gave my meal at lunchtime as I’m helping with the mulled wine and mince pies. I’ll make sure I have a nap.
I hope that everyone’s plans are going well and life is kind to them. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
