Monday.

It's Monday today and it just soooo feels like it! I can barely keep my eyes open! As a general rule I actually quite like Mondays, I like that we get a new start to each week, I like getting our house back into some semi - order after a busy or extra lazy weekend. I'm also quite often off on a Monday too which is not to be sniffed at!

This morning I have my girly with me. She is choked full of the cold and has a pretty constant (and fairly "embellished") cough. She has been prescribed lots of cosy drinks, vicks vaporub and lots of rest. The last is the hardest for K to do, she is never still! She likes to keep busy!  We are snuggled in watching Annie at the moment ( I have already cried twice!) and have plenty more movie magic planned for the day.

I wanted to share with you the view I have from my end of the couch, my sweet girl at the other end, snuggled under a "mama made" quilt with her heavy eyes and her pink PJs. Out of the window I can see a lovely wintry blue sky and the sun just making it high enough to tip the top of our trees in gold.

But I have two cameras and neither have charged batteries. Sigh.

So instead I will share a couple of pics taken last week of some of our December fun.

Our christmas cake mix

filled with glistening jewel-like fruit and an amazingly spice filled aroma.

Yesterday K and Emmy got a great surprise, Granny C has been busy knitting up a special Christmas suit for our favourite little girl.

special Christmas Emmy.

I'm off now to pop the kettle on for cuppa number 2 of 200. I may pop back later to share some gifts that have been keeping us busy.
