My kitchen on Saturday and most of Sunday looked like the aftermath of a ticker-tape parade! Bits of paper, ribbons, and bows were strewn all around the kitchen! It was time for me to wrap the gifts I have ordered the last few months, and I guess I am getting old because it took me far longer to wrap than it ever has!
I have these wonderful shopping bags that I stacked the presents in, and they are now ready to go, whenever it is that I will go and see my grandchildren.
I did have one problem. a cute outfit I had purchased for my grandson, was not in good shape! It appeared that the outfit had been slashed with a knife! So, that one is going back!
I fretted about this and in the end, I found a supplier of the exact same outfit that will have it here on Monday afternoon!
Once I finished up with the wrapping, and folded the paper up, and stored the bows and labels, I came into my kitchen to wash my hands. I turned on the water and we had almost no water pressure!
I put on my boots and coat and went to check the cell-cocks around the house to make sure none of them had turned on. Sure enough, there was one near our screened-in porch that was gushing! I trudged through the snow and got it to shut off. Water pressure problem fixed! Of course, I was soaked, as the snow is well IP past my knees.
And then, mid-afternoon, it started to snow once again. This time just a few inches.
The weekend was finally over. Wait! Monday is laundry day! No rest for me!
How would the cock be opened? Here we would be so worried about the waste of water.
Wow you have snow ! We still have too warm weather for he season and of course rain ! I don’t have to wrap anything this Christmas, it will be a very special one I never had ! Father Christmas got an email with the links to a page on Internet and as I am the Father Christmas I just had to choose amongst the links, order the gifts and pay. I just had to put a little cross in a square if i wanted it wrapped with a card ! See, that’s modern Christmas the rest will take place on Zoom when he has the gifts opened and he will show them to us ! I downloaded Zoom already !!
I am soo fed up with this Corona circus, we so strict rules ! One person to invite for Christmas, they are crazy ! Curfew on Christmas Eve at midnight and on New Year at 10 pm !!!! The restaurants are closed everywhere in the European countries so I have to order a meal and they will bring it. Most of the restaurants to earn some money do house delivery ! No Christmas tree this year, but i have decorated the living room. It will be an evening like all others, supper, TV, bed ! How amusing ! I have the impression that somebody stole one year of my life !
