Well the weather has definitely decided to be wintery. I have kept working under the floors and have managed to get the first section finished. That took 9 hours below floors and is only a quarter of the room! I then draft proofed all the way round and found another hatch! However, I'd finished by then. So this week it is section 2 which looks just as rough. Last week I managed to tear my overalls and was covered in bruises so we shall see how this goes.
Sunday the kids and I went down to Wiston Lodge http://www.wistonlodge.co.uk/ ( my husband was on-call). My daughter and I learnt to bake stollen, ginger biscuits, tuffles and rum balls for Christmas, a busy but great day. Meanwhile my son had the time of his life make Christmas decorations from willow, wood and all sorts of bits and pieces a great day out.
Sadly, today a more sobering day. My husband and I joined his family at the funeral of his cousin's husband aged 43. It certainly makes you look at your own values and priorities seeing his family now without him.
And finally, the chocolate lab is still on heat and wearing shorts for protection! She has become a master at slipping her shorts off at a minutes notice, so the day is spent catching her and putting them back on. Not very elegant but saves the floors. Hopefully she will have finished by next week.
