I've a few days off work and I've given my windows their six monthly wash down. Well, the kitchen and sitting room windows anyway - sure, nobody will be looking at the other ones. Tomorrow I'll buff them with a bit of Windolene and consider myself 'Bord Gais Housewife of the Year' worthy. DCats aren't impressed that I hooshed them off the armchairs and sofa and pulled them out to hoover behind them. They consider it all a bit excessive.
I got my first Christmas cards today. Must start on mine later. I've been messaging people for their new addresses. Why do people have to move house during the year - very inconvenient! I'll have to re-do some of my labels.
There's a beautiful winter sky out there - see pic.
@eggandonion I've a Nutcracker duvet cover and pillow cases. They live in the hot press and occupy the space that would contain towels if teen DD wasn't using all of the towels all at once.
I've Christmassy tea towels somewhere but I always forget to root them out in December. I usually unearth them in May or June and think, "Oh, I must remember to actually use them this Christmas.....".
Which reminds me, I also have a Christmassy tablecloth somewhere.....
I'm contemplating a fancy wooden star thing in a local florist's. My door wreath is falling apart (keeps shedding bits of moss) and has kind of a childish design anyway - it appealed to DD when she was 7 or 8. Anyway, the wooden star thing is really nice and has a few flowers tucked into it. It's €35. Will I see if it comes down in price or will it sell out? I should have taken a photo and then I could have done an AIBU.
The first four houses all have outdoor lights but I don't (No. 5 - no outdoor sockets) and none of of the others further up have either. DD reckons we're in a Mexican wave and Nos. 6, 7, 8 etc. can't put their outdoor lights out until we do.
