A new year cull!

It has been a busy day today, and Keith went shopping first thing, so he doesn't have to take me to work tomorrow. This change of workplace is having far-reaching consequences for both of us.

While he was gone, Sophie and I took down all of the Christmas decorations. While Sopihe stripped the trees and bundled the branches into boxes, I carefully placed all the decorations into pretty containers to be safely stored in the space above our wardrobes. It was lovely seeing them all spread out, especially the ones from our Scandinavian tree!

I then hoovered and dusted the living room and put one of the armchairs back in its rightful place. Mooney wandered in while we were doing this and didn't bat an eyelid. Both of them have been very good with the trees and have barely taken any notice of them.

Sophie made our breakfasts for tomorrow (back to the grind), and we were all finished by the time Keith returned from shopping. After having something to eat, I tidied two of the cupboards in the kitchen and did a ruthless cull of items that we'd been keeping for some unknown reason! A new year cull always feels great!

Sophie hoovered upstairs, as well as the kitchen and then mopped the floor. It was then time for a face pack and A Place in the Sun! Bliss! I managed to have a very long soak in the bath afterwards, and we turned the heating up as it has been another bitterly cold day with snow forecast tonight. That'll be good tomorrow morning!

Sophie and I played two games of Scrabble with a cocktail, and then it was time for the dinner we should have had last night, which Sophie cooked! After eating, Keith and I watched Crocodile Dundee II. I had a heavy heart when it ended. It's back to work properly tomorrow!
