Start my packing

Sunday 29 December

 

Lately, every time we decide to do something

nice, it does not happen.

We had planned on going cannoeing.

This morning we woke up with a wind storm.

The wind is so strong that it make

our deck furnitures move by themselves.

 

So I started to pack.

I found my old vests that I used to

wear in winter when I was on playground

duties. They still fit but boy they don't

smell fresh.

 

So I decide to do a load of washing

(good drying weather)

and we decided to strip the bed,

more washing!

 

so I stopped the packing and finish this year

blogs.

In the last few days I caught up

since August.

 

 

I keep on putting thing on the floor

then change my mind

I just realised that there is no jumpers!!!!!

 

need more clothes....you think?
