I was so feeble at blogging last month that I am feeling the urge to up my game this month. Now, I missed Blogtoberfest and have had great enjoyment reading an American blog friend's haiku daily blogging over November. So I thought I might try an entry every day of December -at least until Christmas, that is.
Today's plan was to get a lovely early morning photo when I dropped Chookie off at riding. We live in a small town surrounded by farmland so fairly rural. But the stables are a half hour drive away and are really in the sticks and always hilly and beautiful even in the rain. It was super frosty overnight. You know the sort where Jack Frost has left those ferny etchings over everything? I thought "perfect!" and was fully into the mental post-planning stages when we got a phonecall at half eight to say that riding was cancelled since the ground was solid. Rats.
Double rats since spouse and I had plans of the Christmas shopping variety while little miss was otherwise occupied. However my fabulous folks stepped into the breach (thank you Mum!) and bikes were bought, aftershaves smelled, bathroom towels picked up and a spot of lunch munched. Oh, and I may be the new owner of a fabulous Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE phone which I am blogging this from. I've been a good girl this year. *g*
So, I do plan a spot of Christmas decorating tomorrow and Chook has been baking salt dough creations on a festive theme. Which I hope means something more interesting to share tomorrow. In the meantime I'll leave you with my first new phone photo. Spouse started off the Christmas night outs last night and may have been a trifle rough during the day. But you can't beat a nana nap in the sun with a kitten snuggled behind you!
Yeah for Christmas shopping and Mums who step into the breach. Hope himself's feeling better from the night out and injury - a nap with a cat is a favourite around here too. Well on the cat's part at least.
ReplyDeleteOoh, everyone needs a nana nap some days! Lucky you getting your early Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so comfortable, your room is so nice.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to your daily updates xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha-bet he loves that photo! How do you like your phone:I was looking at that one for my next phone, due next month
ReplyDeleteOh he definitely deserved that, and a loud wake-up!
ReplyDeleteShopping already - I still don't know where to start! x
I thought that frost was pretty too til I had to chisel it off the car ;o) Glad your mum could step into the breach anyway, you obviously shopped himself until he dropped ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh my Lynz....after posting that photo you best watch out...good thing he doesn't blog!;)
ReplyDeleteBTW...he looks adorable!
We spent the first day of Dec going to the dump and then loading up on free mulch in the truck my dad just handed down to me!;)
We should start the "mums rock" fanclub... Love the photo of spouse, I've got a couple of my man like that too :-) Too cute to resist eh?
ReplyDeleteWere you tempted to send in Chookie with a couple of saucepans to bang together right next to his head?! Your front room looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteBloomin' heck it's so inconsiderate of the riding place to put child safety above the chance for you to take some pics and get your Christmas shopping done ;-)
ReplyDeleteDidn't realise your sofa was so big and snuggly as hadn't seen it before with a sleeping man on it for scale. Hope he doesn't confiscate the phone when he see's this blog post :-)
