Really tired today as by the time we`d picked up Mary and gone to bed, it was gone 1 am this morning! Spoke to Burkie.....his Dad is in hospital in Egypt as his hip has gone AGAIN! Hope they get it sorted for him soon as he wasn`t insured for it. Apart from a bit of work today, I have mainly been cooking......and enjoying this little fella that just turned up in the post tomday. No idea where from. but a welcome little comp win!

First flurry of snow fell today.....began to get excited but sadly it came to nothing! Rich went over to the solictor`s this morning to sign the contracts on Sandbach, so hopefully, we are now on the way to owning an acre of the Town Centre! We heard that Muller`s scheme in Sandbach got thrown out by the Planners last night, which was even better news! I spent the day doing my "homework" for Macmillan as I am working for them tonight on a research project. The poster below shows my involvement and feelings about the charitable group. Mary arriving from Nerja at midnight.......so all in all, it`s going to be a long evening!

Chilled out today and spent an inordinate amount of time in my hot bubbly bath. Love my bath :)

Tuesday 4th December 2012

Succumbed to all the subliminal messages that Christmas is nigh, and dug the old tree out of the loft. Have to say, I do like the twinkly lights. And mulled wine. And carols sung by choirs. So maybe I`m not as much of  a Christmas Grinch as i thought I was!

Day off today. It was soooooo nice to just watch telly and kick back! Entered loads of comps as well, but the way things are on the comping front at the moment, I`m not expecting anything back! But on another note, The Palace have announced that Kate and Wills are having a baby. Being a patriotic sort, I think this is great news, and Princess Diana would have been so so proud. Good on them.

Finally a bit of luck. Got a roofer out to Cheadle to see about the leak.....and looks like it was only a bit of condensation after all! Sammy my Cae Du stone sums up exactly how I feel right now :) Tired, a little emotional and just glad that the Grinch hasn`t stolen Christmas!

Saturday 1st December 2012

Went out walking today. 8.7 miles.......2,182 calories burned! Left Hathersage then climbed up onto Stanage Edge. The views were amazing but it was bitterly cold up there, and relatively quiet for a Saturday!. Left the edge at High Neb and walked across Bamford Moor......knee deep in wet, peaty bog!! Luckily the wind stopped, or I would have got a bit cold because I was soaked! Walked back down Bamford Edge and back into Hathersage before departing for The Fallow Deer and a well deserved Baileys Mocha :)
