A Change Of Plans

 

Today was going to be a rare, but very much needed stay at home day.

I really really really wanted to get to grips with the Friday Club presents.

There were some kits to be made up from stash around the house and church, and names/presents allocated to make sure I had enough for everyone.

However, around 7.30am I had a Facebook message from Hubby's cousin saying she was a bit down, her hubby  (who is very poorly with cancer of the brain) was unusually down and not getting up today, so as I had offered to pop in one day, she wondered if I was free today.

So of course, I abandoned the present sorting and drove over, calling into Morrisons for some of their delicious panettone on the way, as a little gift for them.

 

We had a lovely couple of hours, along with her little granddaughter, who is almost talking properly now, so very sweet to listen to.

Hubby called out "hello" from his bed but other than that all we heard of him was the terrible coughing which has plagued him for some time.

Aside from the cancer, he developed sepsis which thankfully was picked up quickly, continuous UTI's and now this chest infection, its no wonder he was feeling a bit down today, poor chap.

 

 

 

 

One the way home I called in to collect my new specs from Tesco, bliss to be able to see things properly again!

The car needed some fuel...ouch hasn't the price gone up a lot recently!

Finally back home it was the usual laundry chores, some sorting out of the garden ( Mr Bunny had dug the longest and deepest hole ever which he completely disappeared into!) I finally got all the present boxes out.

The little area where I sat was completely engulfed by it all, the only clear space was where I was sitting!

 

 

 

I bagged up a pile of organza bags with sequins, buttons, flowers etc...

 

 

...for the girls to decorate their  "Letter" with...

 

 

...each "kit" also has a tube of glitter glue and pot of glitter.

  I think I will get some cheapo felt pens to go in as well.

So I finally feel like I have accomplished something with regard to the presents...even if the living room looks a tad messy!

Tomorrow I am hoping will be a stay at home day when I can do some more sorting, then hopefully on Sunday I can hand over the baton for wrapping it all up to the students!!

 

 

Whilst watching some teatime TV I indulged in a bit of knitting... whilst thinking I really should be clearing up the mess I had made!

So not the day I had planned, but people are more important than plans aren't they?
