    Spent most of the day in my happy place....cooked a roast dinner....then made a Baileys & Maltesers cheesecake and finished off with an Apple Spiced cake.....Herself and chicks are happy so that naturally means I'm happy....cos that's how life really works lol lol

    That looks perfectly edible.


    You hit the nail on the head. When those you love are happy you yourself need nothing.

    Please don't hate me, but my happy thing is that I'm putting my Christmas tree up this week. I adore everything about Christmas and I'm as excited as a child. :)

    Had my family over for dinner tonight. Was so so nice. My partner made an absolutely delicious and also massive roast dinner and I made tia Maria baked cheesecake for dessert. Was all so lovely. My brother will be going away soon and won't be home til summer. Really sad he won't be here for Christmas so was great having him over tonight. :)

    I will also find you.. hunt you down... And demand you let me come over to your house and sit and look at it and watch a Christmas movie while the lights on the tree tinkle in my peripheral vision. Yay for Christmas!!!

    Jingle bells, jingle bells....

    Cheese. Hailstones outside, warm inside. Great sound effects.

    When you live in a "demountable dwelling" with an aluminium roof....Sound of that hailstorm was terrifying. Poor cat tried to hide under the bed but it is a divan..

    Happy thus the roof held!

    Because the only way the roof can go, this being a sealed unit, is for the entire dwelling to take off.. beware low-flying Graces!

    Well, for me, Advent comes before Christmas so no decorations etc until at least mid-December. No Advent Calendar, but the Advent Wreath. One more candle every week... That is the tradition I live in and enjoy. Totally happy in that.

    I went for my walk earlier, the lovely crisp autumn air, the beautiful colours all about. Back home to cosy house and baking.

    Ready to turn the light off and abdicate the day.. winter bites hard on a dark windy day... a simple, old life. Turf fire glowing with its unique rose, rain and hail on the window.. sky with that peculiar dark glow.

    There has been war among the cats here and I am fingers crossed it is resolved; the one who was attacked is curled asleep on my pillow. Remembering childhood bed toys? This one purrs!
    Oh and snores!

    Bed scattered with bright yarns and half made silver and red bells..Emerald green for a secret project.. Remembering market trading when folk asked what the stall was for... That it fed needy ones; that I cannot do that active work, " But I can knit!" As long as I can do this, it is fair and good.

    Circles of life.

    Night all!

    My replacement belts for my 8 track player arrived this morning. Now relaxing with a beer and the soothing sounds of Barry White.

    Got sent a video clip of a three year old 'reading' "we're going on a bear hunt". Word perfect too. What a memory that child has!

    Any chance that the child could've actually been reading? :)

    It's possible. Some people had a precocious reading ability before the age of 4. It's known as hyperlexia (I think). I was reading well, at age 4. I guess the child in question was just having a bit of a giggle imitating mum/dad :)

    TH I achieved a good bit today and dealt with one scary job.

    Much as our grandchildren get their looks from Mrs S and their brains from me, I can categorically state she was not deciphering any words or letters.

    The memory gene probably comes from the other side of her family.
