Our Living room looked then like this on Saturday morning.
I suddenly realized that we didn't have anything to eat anymore because of all this Christmas food shopping, so I did my food shopping for the week. Now the fridge is filled and Mr. G can sleep in peace.
In the afternoon I went with Dominique to Ilona, for a little chat and to exchange our Christmas gifts. She was busy with a meter and measured all her furniture, she wanted to change them to other places. So the 3 of us where thinking how we could make an old living new. We all had different ideas and had a lot of fun.
On Sunday morning Mr. G got our two old suitcases, which once had served for long distance travels. Even empty they are quiet heavy. In one I put the advents wreath and the advent decoration and in the other the Christmas stuff.
Then he carried both downstairs again and put them away, grumbling something about Christmas celebrations.
When this was done, I met Nicole on the Braine l'Alleud market, where we walked around and finally bought something to wear for New Year. Otherwise we would have had to celebrate in a Eve costume ! Of course we both had nothing to wear ! We had a cup of coffee together and she told me about her Christmas adventures. Being fed up with buying gifts for her son, daughter and
Is MrG. going down to a basement/cellar? I am envious because if I had one I would throw my decorations down there. Not the flashing lights I have on the verandah, I love them and might keep them up forever. Banknotes are the only acceptable gifts for grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI think I will order a T shirt printed 'I survived Christmas 2013' but really it wasn't that bad. I did enjoy it.
Perforated notes. It sounds like something my mother would do. What a laugh. Our decorations are still up but I hope they go away soon. One large illuminated snowflake fell from the window today and nearly damaged the blinds. I was quick to put that one away before Household Management got home from work.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photos of Mr G carrying the suitcase down into the cellar. I can almost hear him, because that is how Grant would do something for me too. Men just get this way, don't they. I LOVE the idea of an EVE costume! LOL! And I wondered if those banknotes were still usable with a hole in? I also give money to children/grandchildren. By Bank transfer in my case! Have a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL ADULT FRIENDS ONLY NEW YEAR. (((Hugs))) Jo
