life as it is

 1. New hyacinths are 2 pink 1 white with a pink streak . 2. Booking my covid vaccination  3. Watching a crow doing his/her’s dance then a magpie flew down , maybe to join in ? 

 1. Brought some more hyacinths. Not sure of the colour as no indication on label . I think white . They was half price unknown to me yet again no indication. 2. We all thought son in law might of caught covid test came back negative, just a heavy cold. He being sensible will stay in and doubly make sure he is ok .phew!  3. A beautiful winter’s day . Sun shining,birds singing just a gentle refreshing wind .

 1. I say it every year and will continue to do so, the hyacinth gives me so much pleasure. The scent is so gorgeous. And it gives a lovely show. Every year my dad had some for Christmas and it’s one tradition I will always continue to do. Thank you dad. 2. Christmas was quiet but good. Work was quiet I worked Christmas Day but I never do mind .  3.  Was given a different tub of chocolates , you get soon asked me to buy some more as they are so good. For someone who doesn’t like sweets they must be good. He has got a birthday coming up soon . Guess what he is going to get? 

 Snuggled down with my crochet was going to be knitting but found some unfinished crochet motifs, while watching Scrooge a Christmas Carol with Alistair Sims my favourite Scrooge.

 1. Finishing a hard week at work , but a good week though. 2. Walking down hill headlong battling the wind. Why is the night wind feels so different and smell different? 3. Kindness of strangers smiles above the masks . 

 1. Completing all the housework in one big swoop. Hurrah!  2. Having to explain once again about tier 3 ! Not an easy job! Hopefully the person will now understand how serious COVID is! But I doubt it ( this is not positive but I had to write it down otherwise I will explode! ) 3. Eldest son went back home aboard at the right time . He works and has family he hasn’t seen for 8 months . After his quarantine he can he has not long to go now. 

 Been a rollercoaster of a week or so, I think I have stepped off it for a while. 1. Eldest son departed for his home abroad not seen his family for 8 months but was able to go. Sad to se him go , but glad that he was able to go to see his family. 2. Work booked an days holiday for me without me knowing at the last minute, I turned up for work and they told me ! I took it , a little bonus. 3. Crochet blanket is done . Now to find knitting needles! Then sort out patterns

 Not a good week last week ,hopefully this week will be better. 1. Wondered why the tea wouldn’t brew then realised that I didn’t boil the water! 2. Waking up to a grey Misty morning then noticed a robin having a wash in a puddle . Puffing out his beautiful red breast. A colourful start to the day. 3. The kindness of strangers ,a please and a thank you, you are welcome. All small phases but mean a lot. Smiling with their eyes as with wearing masks you cannot see the smiles but it shows up in their eyes

 The fairy lights in the distance twinkle like precious coloured jewels in the night. Adding a welcoming glow.

 1. The winter chill and scent-is in the air . A nice crisp s scent of both, 2.  Back at work after a week of . Nice to be back but lots to do. 3. Going into tier 2 , hopefully it will work. Hopefully no more lockdowns, but we will have to see.
