Good morning from Bristol. It’s supposed to be around 4C but the flat is warm enough for me to pad around barefoot. It will most likely be quite different when I leave my snug bed!
Yesterday was rather funny. When I got to church, I was told that the heating was broken, but as I was quite warm from my walk there, I took my coat off and snuggled under my beautiful shawl, as usual. When it came to the Peace, the vicar announced he’d shake as many hans as possible to check who had the warmest hands. To my amusement, when he went back to the chancel, he announced that “Mattie has the warmest hands”! Ripple of laughter through the congregation. What astonished me most is that my hands get cold very easily, and my fingers normally go white.
I had a cuppa in the afternoon with my upstairs neighbour. I haven’t seen her for ages, so we had a good chinwag.
Today is the start of an incredibly busy and tiring week. Tesco in the morning, then barely time for lunch, then off to WI to set up. More time will be spent tidying up afterwards.
I hope this week brings gentle contentment to all. Special thoughts to fgt and all those with difficulties. 💐
