Yesterday saw the house being given its pre-Christmas clean. Truth is that it hasn't been cleaned for weeks and it now looks so much brighter. We have wooden floors throughout and you would never believe how much dust can gather on them. I love cleaning, when you can see a difference afterwards. I very much dislike cleaning for the sake of doing it.
With utilities being cheaper on the weekend, I tend to do my laundry and make soup and it really is fun to look at the graph-usage of electricity and gas and see how much I can save. I know, I am easily pleased.
Ali was out in the afternoon and Jen completed lots of the Christmas decorating and did a tidy up of the table, which we had been unable to see underneath all the craft-making, for several weeks....oh wait, it was probably only a couple but merely felt like longer. These are her Pine Cone Denhams, in case you missed them on Facebook. Fantastic little people from my talented daughter.
I seriously can't believe that Christmas is upon us-EEK.
We still aren't exactly sure of our timings for the big day but the idea of going to the movies is fading due to the timings of trying to connect with loved-ones at home and in Vancouver. I had also planned to cook the Turkey on Christmas Eve but that may also change, if it looks like the day will be totally spent at home. We quite like the turkey the way that we usually have it on Boxing day. Sliced, in gravy and in the oven-yum. I'll let you know.
Right, this has taken me hours to write, in amongst other stuff I have been doing so I'm going to close.
Much love to all,
Lxxxx
