that would have been when Small kicked one of Big’s teeth out then 😉
It was wobbly beforehand, but she was still rather (loudly) traumatised. I hope she didn’t get blood on the sheets, as they aren’t our sheets, we were over in Meltham.
Other than that it was a pretty uneventful evening. Once the children departed upstairs, the adults ate and drank and chatted, and I did yet more work on the neverending shawl. That’s a part of my overall feeling of crapness – the fact that I haven’t finished making Christmas presents, let along giving them out 🙁 I didn’t do home made presents for Big and Small, although I obviously have the yarn ready, and Big’s birthday is coming up, so if I get organised, I might catch up enough for that.
The reason why I was so late to CM3 was because as the guy who’d opened up the office at 8 walked out at 4.30, I noticed that the desk of the guy who was supposed to be locking up was empty. He was working from home. Who’s the other person with keys? That’d be me then. So I was there til 6, as that’s the time we shut up shop.
Not well organised. If I’d managed to pack my crochet hook I could at least have finished the shawl while I was there, but no, while I was taking Small’s spare clothes out of my day bag that morning, I must have pulled the crochet hook out too and left it on the table.
Oh well. Maybe next year we’ll just celebrate Yule and give up on the whole Christmas thing anyway. But only if we rent a small island for a month or so away from all relatives.
And I didn’t get the present I wanted either. I’d asked for Crochet Pattern-a-day Calendar
but when mother popped into Hobbycraft where I’d seen them, they’d sold out, so she got me a very lovely pattern book, Easy Crocheted Accessories
, instead.
I will just have to order my calendar with my christmas money. Got to find some way of using up some of my stash and cheering myself up too!
