You will never change your life until you change something
you do daily. John Maxwell
We had a wonderful day, did you? It was just perfect, mom slept till gone 8,
then I took her a mug of tea and her tablets before we both went down to open
all our gifts, they were all fabulous, we were both very pleased with
everything we got. There appeared to be
a theme running through my stash, wine and owls, I don't know why that was ;-),
I even got a money box with "Bev's Red Wine Fund" on it, that made me
giggle. I'd say one of moms favourites
from her reaction was her flower pot man and wheelbarrow from Sheila, she was
very taken by him, oh just everything was absolutely lovely and we both felt
very spoilt and lucky to receive such loveliness. I now have some epic signs hanging round my
house .
We took a Christmas selfie with Alfie, mom couldn't hold the
boy too long, apparently he's heavy, so he'll be going on a diet too in the new
year! Both of us had our Christmas
jumpers on and we all wore hats, although as you can see Alfie's kept slipping
down.
Well I slaved over a hot stove all morning for lunch as you
can see (NOT), mom got the egg, chips and beans she'd requested and I had the
same but I had parsnip and pigs in blankets with mine, it was Christmas day
after all. Was so nice to chill out all
day with mom and not have to do anything, including get dressed.
We had an early morning visit off my brother Ian, then all
was peace and calm in our household.
Oh I almost forgot, my Christmas muffins that we had for
breakfast were amazing if I do say so myself, muffins I can bake well, they
were so light, just delicious, can't beat warm muffins. Dried cranberries are very nice, first time
I've tried them and I liked them a lot. Recipe is here if you want to try http://wwbevsworld.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/planning-christmas-morning-breakfast-mmm.html
So that's it for another year, it may only be a day but it
really is a day that lifts our spirits in the middle of these long cold months,
it's a day that makes us realise how blessed we are and thanks now to Facebook
it's a day where we can enjoy seeing what a wonderful day others are
having. Thanks to the power of
technology I even got a Facetime chat with my bestie and her kids, we both
agreed we'll stick to texting in future lol, seeing those faces that early in
the day without alcohol in my bloodstream is scary ;), I'll get to see their
precious faces tomorrow though as they're coming over for the day, just need to
decide what we're eating. It's either
steak for half of us and pizza for the other half, or I can do a roast dinner
or the kids can decide what they want.
Either way if they don't opt for the roast that'll be what I'll be
making today because I fancy chicken, mash, sprouts and gravy!
I do like this easy going, simple life I have, the only
other thing I have to do this week is read my book, stressful ay :) Not even
going to think about the work stuff for the next 7 days unless I fancy doing
so.
Apparently there has been a weather warning;
