Nearly missed the sky last night because I had the blind down. It was a lovely crimson red.

I did get the first feed of the Christmas cakes this morning, so now they will begin the journey to hopefully being delicious. Tina dropped me near the post office, I had a package to send off and while I was in town I bought a cat bed for Charlie.

I was struggling a bit today, the knee more than the ankle giving me trouble, but I called in to see Sandy on my way home, so got another sit down! I hadn't seen the curtains I helped her choose up, they look pretty good and the room is much lighter because she had wooden slat blinds before. Caught up with Red Rock when I got home and have been sorting and packing between watching the Olympics. We are still doing well and as I am writing our little 16 year old gymnast,Amy Tinkler, got a bronze in the individual floor discipline.The camera has been resting today while I charged the battery, but I do have a picture of Charlie, not in the bed of course. He is snuggled next to a hippo doorstop that I have had longer that I can remember, think it was a present from Hazel and Brian many years ago, so it has done a fair bit of moving around!! Off to Peterborough tomorrow and to the Just So festival with Anya and Isobel at the weekend, so the blog will be a bit spasmodic for a while.
