We had another busy day getting the decorations down from the loft. With Charlotte helping Kev do the humping and lumping while I removed some of the Halloween decor, some the more robust stuff went into boxes to put back in the loft, the more delicate stuff I put in the window of the bedroom and on display in the bedroom. Pieces like Dave and Patricia, Frankie and Bride are safe until after the Christmas. Mr Skeleton Sir got a Santa hat and a move into the kitchen to guard the coffee machine.
We got some of the Christmas decor done including the tree, but there's more to do, it takes us longer the older we get ( like everything!) But we also had the new rug come which we wanted to get done. I'm very pleased with it and once again Wayfair came through with the goods. I only ordered it Friday and it was here by today. I'd definitely recommend them.
Tuesday.
We went into town to meet Sue and Pete for lunch a O'Neil's. We had a lovely catch up and laugh. I was looking for some taper candle holders in TKMAXX but couldn't find any, as luck would have it, we nipped in Poundland to get some munchies for Willow, and although they didn't have any, we did come across a couple of glass candle sticks shaped like trees. I hadn't wanted glass because when we pack them away after its a Shame if they break, but to be honest if these break at a pound its not the end of the world.
After we left Sue and Pete we went up to Tesco to get lady some of her dried food. Even they only had one sort, so we will have to get some more on Thursday when we venture to Home Bargains. I think by then we will be done. And will pretty much avoid going into town
except for seeing Sue and Pete. We still have to get the food shopping, but will just go to one of the bigger supermarkets and be done with it. I hate it when the city gets too mad just before Christmas. Everyone has a short fuse by then and I'm no exception.
We came home and there was a box on the racking just a small one containing a ghost bauble for the tree, turns out it was too heavy for the branches so I have added it to the tier tray.
I ordered a couple more bits from Amazon, some more of the flickering candles with a timer for in the window, much safer than the days of having loads of real candles burning everywhere. Kev has even ordered a candle warmer lamp, you place your scented candle underneath it and it warms the wax without you having to burn the wick. Again cleaner and safer all round.
Later on we started watching the new Anne Rice Universe tv series on Netflix, Talamasca. It's by AMC who do the Interview series. We watched two episodes, and its very well done, its a bit of a slow burn, but they've got to introduce the characters first, so its to be expected. I was always fascinated by the underlying story running alongside the Witches and Vampires in her book and often wished for a dedicated book based on them. Let's hope the other four episodes live up to what promises to be as good as the Interview series, and hopefully will tie in quite nicely with the Mayfair Witches and The Vampire Lestat.
