The first thing I was able (determined) to do was clean out the piggies. That was the most pressing concern for me as my husband has asthma and was struggling from the off with cleaning them out. It all worked out fine in the end.

Hub has an arthritic knee and struggles with bending. We are forever so grateful to @Qualcast&Flymo for helping with the otherwise impossible cage clean while I was in hospital and then for being instrumental in finding local help for cleaning. I have been worrying about the piggies a lot but there was so little I could do about it myself.

I believe shingles is very painful and miserable.
Although I expect my arm to be a bit tender for a couple of days it’s better than getting shingles

My treatment swap parter ended up in hospital with shingles and is still recovering many weeks later. Jab is definitely a great idea

I use a gardening stool to clean out the cage, but i still have to get into the cage to put the new bedding in. Luckily my cleaner helps with the full cage clean. She's brilliant and thinks nothing of picking up poo by hand!
 
I went for a walk today, I always feel a bit down this time of year, missing my family and remembering the Christmases we used to have when we were all together.
On the outward journey I saw a seagull paddling for worms, they do it with such a look of concentration, he made me smile. On the homeward leg Father Christmas waved to me, he must be having trouble starting the reindeer as he was driving a City Plumbing van.
So glad I went out despite the drizzle it lifted my spirits. It's often the little things that make a difference!

It really is @piggieminder - the people who are no longer present in our lives are always with us - you are not alone
I wish you a peaceful Christmas full of lovely memories of those you love ❤️
 
My sister drew this beautiful Ulysses Butterfly for me as an early Christmas gift. She's always been talented at drawing but this is absolutely beautiful!
Honestly, I first thought it was a real butterfly preserved in glass casing! 😂

A lovely day today.
We were helping at the Foodbank in York this morning then lunch at a very nice restaurant in the city centre.
Essential shopping followed - mostly for the piggies who needed fresh veggies and paper bags.
The wonderful day ended with a Christmas Eve carols and communion service before heading back home.
Need an early night now 😊
 
Haha my neighbour just gave me a massive (360g) bar of Dairy Milk and a box of Cadbury Puds "from the little one, to apologise for all the screaming" lol. Apparently he's learnt a new scream which is what I keep hearing but after about 2 minutes he's calmed himself down and falls asleep again. Ah, babies.

It was a beautiful morning when we set off for Bridlington to walk along the front.
We soon drove into fog though so it was a very fresh walk along the front with poor visibility.
This begs the question of why anyone would want to to go out for a ride on the pirate boat !

In summer, I saw the speedboat in Scarborough go out with passengers on in about an inch of water. Was less speed and more slow!

I've been sales shopping. Lovely day but my legs don't half ache now.

I hope you had a productive day.
We stopped at a garden centre on the way home which was very successful.
Sorting out the garden is our project for 2025

Hope you got some good bargains.
 
Had a day sorting my bedroom out. It looks like I've just moved things from A to B, organised them & stacked them nicely! The good thing about this is I've now got a list of what I've got, so will be able to see how this decreases during the course of 2025.

Books to be read and toiletries - I'm looking at you!
