It is nearly Christmas....

Whooo thought it was all over.  But today we have had strong winds back and deluge of rain, although it was not as cold.

I was the only car on the car park.  I didnt get out.  36 mph winds.  Gusting.  No chance.

So, consoling myself that I had done the pulmonary physio exercises, I went for a ramble round Lidl.  I had intended to visit one of the bigger supermarkets with clothes as I am desperate for a new dressing gown.  But Lidl has the most sheltered car park.

I was fortunate to see some canvases on offer and some perfectly adequate painting brushes, for applying ground and varnish, so spent not a lot but on useful purchases.

Now, this may sound really ungrateful!  The DP's relatives have yet again surpassed themselves with their Christmas gifts.  He had a long conversation with his sister making it quite clear we did not want a Juicer as a gift.  So what did we get today?  Aye a Juicer.  In a box shouting Juicer from Amazon.  

His brother knows we do not drink Ale.  But we got a gift box of Ale.  Do you think it's me?

I hope they have wall space for the fantastic canvas of line dancing Oystercatchers we sent.

Hey ho.  Back home, while the DP was away posting the canvases, Sith and I sat in a very dark Shedudio.  3 p.m. dusk.  Roll on Friday the shortest day.  After that things can only get better.

Wind and rain lashing the windows.

Nice bit of colour.  I got the Geraniums through last winter and hoping to repeat this year.  I like Geraniums.

I am going to have to get a hearth rug for Sithcat.

Tomorrow the weather forecast is good.  Whoopee.
