Bitty day

I got the tree and decorations ready to take to the church and also got the few bits to go to the top into the porch. I hadn’t really thought through getting the frame and the decorations round to the church and really didn’t want to do two walks round there. In the end I carried them both and used a walking stick rather than the rollator.  Jean and Judy were there making drinks and offering mince pies, was going to be a long day for them. A couple of people already there setting up their trees. Got mine set up and was pleased with how it looks, Sher’s real Christmas tree is going to be next to mine, but I was there before her.
Just realised I got the photos out of sync, when I went to open the windows it was obvious I hadn’t picked the best day to walk to the sea!
I made a couple of phone calls and still no idea where my sister spent last night, although at the hospital somewhere. The care home hadn’t had the call they were expecting.
I left a note in the porch to say leave parcels by the door, as I was expecting a veg and fruit delivery and a package of bulbs! When Angela arrived we loaded the car and set off for tip. I forgot the pass but luckily we weren’t asked to show it. Then we went to the garden centre where I got lunch for us.
I was home in plenty of time for the gas engineer who arrived before two to do the annual check. He was here ages, about four thirty when he left.
When I was in church Judy asked me if I was busy this afternoon. Should have said yes as she produced a huge pile of laminate cards and a hole punch and asked if ai would make then into tags for them to give out to people tomorrow on Lights Night! About 250!  I am about half was and will carry on this evening.
Even had to supply the thread. 🤣
Phoned the care home who still hadn’t heard so phoned the hospital. Found out that my sister was in a corridor and would be admitted when. Bed became available, so we now know she spent the night in a corridor at the emergency department.
The local paper arrived and there was a pice about the pottery studio re-opening and there is a picture of me.
Best get back to threading!

  1. I’ll try to get back into sync.
    Those skies are beautiful! You’re so lucky. I very rarely see anything as nice as that!
    It was worth the effort of getting the tree to the church, it really does look good. Very apt sign for it too.
    Glad you managed to get all your jobs sorted today. Always good when you plan things and they actually all get done 😊
    You do get lumbered with some rare jobs. 250 is a lot to have to do! They see you coming 😂
    Poor Margherita having to sleep in a hospital corridor. Knowing her she probably enjoyed seeing all the comings and goings during the night. Hope she’s not stuck in there too long.
    You’re always getting your pic in the paper. You must have one of those photographic faces they look out for 😊
    Bet you’ve still not finished the threading yet!

  2. No, I haven’t!
    Yes, it was good to get things done that you planned, not so good to get something to do you haven’t planned, could have done some more jigsaw!
    The sky was lovely this morning.
