In Between Days

Tuesday. 

Another grey miserable day where it barely got light, it was a day for full Christmas lights on, right from when we emerged from our beds. 

We got ready to go out, just into the village, neither of us fancied going into town, so we went round the market they have on every week at the Manvers car park ( used to be at the Rose and Crown, but  they moved when it shut and didn't go back once it re- opened. We got loads of fresh fruit and I even managed you find some russet apples. 

After we nipped to Sainsbury's and got a few basics so that we dont have to venture out once we get home from Sue's. That done we went to the Pig and Pudding the cafe opposite Sainsbury's, We decided to have Brunch and I had creamed mushrooms on toast, while Kev had a breakfast bap, both very nice. In fact I've downloaded a recipe for the mushrooms as it was not the tinned version, but freshly made and gorgeous. 

We timed it just right to get the bus home, another new driver, moaning about being dumped on this route. No wonder we have a crap service none of them want to do this area, because its such a tight schedule. 

Kev didn't want to wash tomorrow with it being Christmas Eve, so when we got home,  he checked there was no one using the laundry room and then took ours over. There was only a bag and a half, as there is less now I'm not bringing home uniform, and my home uniform is comfy trousers and t-shirts, or if its cold sweatshirts. Yesterday I had a pj's day as we didn't go out. Kev baked gingerbread, mince pies and cookies so the bungalow smelt amazing. That lingered to this morning, but now I have the candle warmer on giving off a woodsmoke and bourbon scent wafting through. 

I had some dies come from Simon says Stamp in the USA and so after I'd hoovered and tided up, I made a beeline for my desk, made a card ( would you believe for Valentine's day!) Then catalogued my new dies and put them on magnetic sheets and clear wallets inside the corresponding stamp sets. Sometimes having slight OCD is a blessing...
