Rain!!


Woke up to rain this morning and the day has continued to be cloudy. According to the forecast we should have sunshine again by Sunday. Temperature is around 27 degrees so we can't complain.

I have been working on a series of small paintings, adopting the vibrant colours of Mexico in a fun style. The boys are off to see the latest BOND film so dinner prep is in my hands. I hope to make "Heather's feta chicken breasts" with broccoli and rice. The challenge is figuring out what time to have dinner ready for the table.

Our Christmas tree is mounted on an end table but still needs a few decorations. It is created from metal with cutouts that allow Christmas lights to shine through.


Doug is still looking for the decorations and I am confident that the tree will be dressed before Christmas Day. It does seem odd to not hear a constant medley of Christmas music but the pilgrimages that have passed by on the road below have been wonderful. The last one had a full band and a choir of childrens' voices.



We will be six people for Christmas dinner. The other two will arrive on December 23rd and have offered to prepare the turkey dinner. For once, I plan to stay out of the kitchen, put my feet up and toast all the other mothers in the world who are slaving over a hot stove!!
