Christmas Day

Now Boxing day. Watching the start of the Sydney Hobart Yatch race. Yesterday was interesting. We had an early beach walk. I have been struggling with an infected spot in my groin which decided to finally burst. Not a terribly good day as I am also recovering from the effects of my booster shot. We did manage prawns and salad followed by raspberries, we don't eat much these days.I seem to sleep a lot. It was a shame to miss friend Ps 88th birthday on the 24th but we just couldn't manage it. That booster really hit us. I hope all my blog friends had a lovely Christmas. This wretched plague is really making things difficult for us all. We did a late drive over to Parsons Beach yesterday. The southerly winds have made for a lovely view of the beach. A bit cool but much better than very hot. Sorry I can't manage any more.

Angels wings and cards

My angels finally had their wings attached so they are now finished. I also started making some cards using some papers I had painted cutting out trees, easy and fun. I am feeling very tired at the moment,not sure why, we had quite a long beach walk this morning which was lovely but more tiring than I expected. Trying to tie up presents and work out what more I need. We have had lovely cool weather but it is going to warm up over the week end. I am afraid I don't cope very well with the heat anymore.

It has been a while

And on top of that John had reset the Google password and not told me. So many frustrations. I am once more making Christmas cakes. I have finished off the little knitted rabbit, he is now all dressed. Fb has had a few painted gnomes as a theme and here is the one I did and I am also making, or rather embroidering more birds for my file fowl book. A trip over to Waitpinga beach, late Sunday afternoon. I love those lines of waves. A visit from the nurse from the local doctors surgery to make sure we old people are coping. I think we are but it is good to be checked up on. I am heartily sick of this recurring covid drama. We are booked in for a booster in a couple of weeks. No Melbourne family again for Christmas I would imagine with all the uncertainty over border closures. I am slowly getting presents together but I am so much slower than usual. I will try to blog a bit more.
