Christmas comes nearer

 Goodafternoon everybody!

It is a bit gloomy like weather, cloudy, it rains every now and then, but temperatures are around 10C. Unbelievable in December. But already for a longer time, wether is behaving otherwise as we were used to. 

On the news yesterday we saw the devistation the hurrincanes/tornados did to Kentucky. Oh my God, how aweful that has must been. And also other states are hit severe too. My heart is with all those people who in  a blurr of a moment lost all they have. 

We had a more active week this time. On Monday we started with the Christmas decoration, and as always the first is the tree. Well been busy for a few hours, we decided to do the rest the next day and my be even a third one was needed. And so it was. Good thing to do it in kind of shifts, it made us a little bit less tired this way and also the body didn't ache too much, hahahaha. 

It was worth it, our sitting room looks all cosy and full of lights again. I have made a photo, it is not very good, but you got an idea of the tree.


It may not look like much work, but you all know it all takes time and it is a tree of around 1,80 mtr. high. I also started to write enveloppes for the Christmascards I have to post, I couldn;t wait much longer to do that.Still have to buy a few more, well, I can do that tomorrow.

Then I had to settle something in the pharmacy. Jan is now in a pharmacy repeat service for his medicins. But at the moment all medicins don;t run out at the same time, they must re arraneg it a bit. So I had to get him one that will not last till next batch delivery(end of December). It was no problem, but I will have to get them a prescription for some of them by the family doctor, because his specialist in hospital cannpt give out prescriptions anymre for those. So he has a year prescription by his specialist, okay, but now I will have to call or go next week to the family doctor for the other ones. Once they have had that one time, they can call for repitition of the medicins to the family doctor themselves. It is a bit complicated, but once all settled I hope it will go smoothly. It will save me a few walks to the pharmacy, I can even let them delivered at home. Nevertheless I will keep an eye on the stock, just in case.

Do you know what? I don;t follow very much auto racing, formula 1, but nowadays it is a little bit more interesting because we have  Dutch driver there. And guess what? Today our Max Verstappen became Woldchampion, by beating Lewis Hamilton! And it is something special because Max Verstappen now is the first Dutch Worldchampion in Formula 1 in the history of the racing. And although I am not very much fan of autoracing I am a little bit prod now, LOL. It is quite an achievement for such a little country. Here is a photo of Max just after his win:


This was about all I think I have to tell. next week I will have to think thouroughly about our Christmasdinner, I want to try not to be for too long in the kitchen, but still have soething really yummie. I am sure I can figure out something. 

Good, I wish you all a wonderful week to come and please stay safe.

Your tree is beautiful! Joe put up our tree in the house. I think the lights are beautiful in the evening. Most of my shopping and wrapping are done. Just the cards need to be finished. And soon!

Now I have more time to play with yarn. Woo Hoo! I'm almost finished with the pink afghan, so I'll be starting the baby crib blankets next. Speaking of babies, our beautiful Cerys is scheduled for some sort of surgery this upcoming week. I'm not sure what it is all about yet, but will let you know when I find out. That poor darling has been through so much in her short life.

Now I'm off to get a fresh cup of coffee. You and Jan take care, and enjoy your day. Big hugs, Edna B.
