White Christmas

 Changed my header photo, as you can see by the date it was taken in January of 2018, certainly no where near this much snow today.

We had only a dusting of snow yesterday, and light snow is falling as I write, don't expect the temps to get high enough to melt it, so a White Christmas it will be for us.  Just wish the cold wind would stop blowing, it's not very strong, however, any wind at this time of the year makes it feel so much colder.  Over the next couple of months it will only get colder though.   Only positive, in a couple days we will have our shortest day, then a minute or two each day which will increase the length of the days, it won't be very noticeable though for quite a while.   

Pizza last night was delicious and we have enough in a doggy bag for dinner tonight, I don't mind pizza two nights in a row, will make a salad and "Dinner's ready". 

Later today will need to make up our grocery list for next weekend, there is no way in blazes am I going into the stores on Friday.   Butter is on sale, almost half price, in the store we shop at.  The limit is four, that's all the sign said, I picked up four, Hubby went in later and picked up four.  He then had to get a new Rx from the drug store which is in the same mall, four more butter,  there are 12 lbs in the freezer.  We did the same thing last year at this time, only one lb left from that purchase.  I make sure I wrap it well and we have not had one package that took on flavours from anything else in the freezer. We do not use a lot of butter, so this last purchase will last us most of the year.  

Hubby is watching the football final match, I am not too excited about it, however, will watch the final few minutes of it.

Both Granddaughters are home from there universities, I was worried about their travelling as the weather further north has not been very good, lot more snow than we have.  Grandma always worry about these two, they have so much potential to do great things in the future , I would be devastated if anything happened to them.  There are so many reckless drivers on the roads these days who pay no attention to the conditions of the roads.

Have not done any sewing this week and likely will not be doing any until the new year, just too many other things to do at the present time.

Going to start some baking, mince tarts, sausage rolls, date squares and "no bake cookies (biscuit)", (can  "no bake cookies" be classed as baking?), of course, I need to melt the chocolate.  

Have a great day.

Cheers.

  2. I am looking forward to our summer solstice as that means the days get shorter and it gives me hope when our awful summer temps start.
    We're never satisfied!!
    If you have ingredients it is baking.
