And again

appointment at the hospital for an X ray. woke up to fast falling snow!!! Had a shower and breakfast, the roads were like skating rinks, phoned the hospital and called off my appointment, cars apparently sliding all over the place and all roads out of the town blocked by floods......... glad I do not have to go to Leicester.

Washer on with a load of coloureds, they will have to go in the dryer, they will freeze if I put them on the line.It has stopped snowing for now, but the sky looks like there is a load more to come.

I have sorted out my old computer so all I have on it are designs for the machine, I do have the instructions to make them show up as pictures on my new lap top, just need to get round to doing it. I need to ring the computer techie, I have sent 2 emails to him, no reply. I have a feeling he is not going to travel into Melton from where he is now, so I am going to have to look for another techie here.

Plan on sewing out a couple of the figures for the nativity scene. I have ordered another 5000m cone of white thread, should come in the next couple of days. will have to get some clear glue to stich bits together. Some can be sewn, but the rest have to be stuck.

Lentil soup out of the freezer for soup, need to sort out something for supper, will have to see what I have in the freezer.

We have snow

it started to snow about 9pm last night, the ground was white when we went through to bed. This morning, it was still all white, but we have drizzly rain......just hope we do not have a mammoth frost tonight, I have an appointment at the hospital for an X Ray on my knee.

I had an horrific night sleep last night, it needs to be better tonight.

I have solved the dilemma with the FSL patterns, I got my old computer out and down loaded them to it. Have transferred one to the UHB to see how it sews out. I hope its a bit quicker then the Nativity tree hanging.

Supper roast pork etc, no dessert, we finished the crumble last night and also finished up the cream.

Yellow warning

 for snow tonight and tomorrow, needless to say we will not b e going anywhere.

Step son has just been with Aimee, she is more mobile and babbles, but still does not talk. He will have his hands full for the future.

DB has just gone for his nap, so I can put my feet up for an hour. No sewing on the cards, waiting for the milar film to come, possibly Monday, then I can have another go. I need to source some more white thread, I buy large cones of white, I use a lot, especially at Christmas.

Everywhere is very quiet, just the odd car going past, things will change on Tuesday when the children go back to school........

We are having  braised beef for supper, did it this morning in the Ninja, there will be some left over for another day. The Apple crumble we got from M & S was very nice, enough left for dessert tonight.

Snow

We woke this morning to a fine dusting of snow, it has sort of cleared through the morning.

Load of laundry put in and dried, one job out of the way.

Have down loaded the nativity design onto a small USB and sewn one out, the new machine makes a different sound to the Lumi, it does not sulk either when you go out of the room, got to be good.

AQppointment for my knee Xray Monday 9.20 willring the surgery the following week, to see what the report is, although I know already.

DB is keeping himself occupied with his jig saw, its on a board with a cover, so we just put the place mats on it when its mealtime.

Everybody is taking their decs down, ours have been down for a while and put away for another year.

Usual Friday supper, fish and chips, we have mince pies to eat up, and also a piece of cake that was in the hamper from DD2.

She has made an appointment for us to get our eyes tested later this month, more expence I guess I will need new ones, I managed to get away with it last year. DB has 20, 20 vision, just needs reading glasses.

Heath, weath and happiness

in 2025 to all my readers.

We did not sit up to welcome in the new year, went to bed to read whilst the clock ticked away the old year.

When we went to bed itwas blowing a hoolie and raining fit to bust. By the time we got up the wind was dropping and the rain down to a sligh drizzle.

After breakfast we drove out to Hose for the coffee morning as we dipped down into the vale, the sun was out and blue sky. It was very well attended.

We have had quite a heavy frost overnight, the top of the car has a very pretty pattern on it, good job I do not need to go out. Sun is out but not a lot of heat in it. Have not put my nose outside the back door......it looks brrrrrr............

DB went for his siesta, I was searching for a pattern, I had looked everywhere for it, even getting my old lap top out, eventually I managed to down load it to a USB, checked the little machine and bingo it was there.......I am waiting for some Mylar to come before I stitch another one, want to see how it turns out.

I had an email from the Dr. I have to go for an X Ray on both knees and then to see the GP. The earliest appointment I can get is in March!! I am suffering from taking the pain killers, as usual......have had to take some senna.......

I had been looking at changing the chaise long for a bed settee, cannot get one to fit the space, so back to plan A. I need to look for a decent topper. I should have bed linen, but will also need to get a duvet. DD2 will stay with DB when I go to have my pacemaker changed.

ADB for supper tonight, we still have a few dessert bits to clear up as well.

The nativity scene I did yesterday, am going to sew it again backed with mylar, see how it comes out.

 

To all friends, family and fellow bloggers, I wish you all a happy, healthy new year. I will be back tomorrow.

Its fine

But the wind is rising. We are forecast heavy rain tomorrow, will see how it is in the morning, we were going to the coffee morning. Will make the decision when we get up and see what the weather is doing. Having a problem with the new machine, it does not seem to like the USB. Nothing planned for the rest of the day.

Grocery delivery, fridge shelves etc cleaned and sorted out, there is some space in there now. Outside freezer is gradually emptying, will clean it out once we have used everything. I also need to clean out the kitchen freezer.

I am having problems with my lap top, somehow I have managed to change something and all my embroidery files which usually show as picture's are just showing as files grrrr. I have a lot of the designs on USB sticks, but my main file has over 600 designs in it...... I have not backed it up recently, slapped wrist......

Supper tonight spag bol. We need to finish off the chocolate log, so that will be dessert.
