Merry Christmas

I am so tired, my inlaws arrived at our place this morning at 6am to give Christmas presents, I was in a deep sleep dreaming away, when I was startled by DH jumping up saying shit....there here. Now at 8.31am I am at my desk and wishing I could go back to sleep. My FIL is having lung surgery tomorrow for lung cancer, he is looking great, so all should go well, his hospital stay will be about 10 days, bummer being a few days before Christmas, but you take a bed when it is offered, and with cancer you don't need to delay it any longer than necessary.

The inlaws seemed to like their blankets I knitted them, I am coming up to half way on Dad's blanket, only 4 more nights knitting and two of those we will be out, boy oh boy I need more time, maybe I will have it done by the time Mum and Dad are leaving our place on Christmas Day, but with temperatures expected in the high 30's, maybe not.


I got a lovely gift from Shannon this week, a CD of Christmas Carols and a lovely card, I am getting a new CD player for Christmas so guess what will be the first CD to play, thanks so much Shannon.

Yesterday I got a gift from Sharon, a lovely handmade stocking with my initial on it, a Caramello Bear, it was yummy! A Koala crossing fridge magnet, some candy canes, a lovely card, and a family newsletter, I will read it soon I promise, just a bit busy at the moment, I did look at the photos on it though.

I finished the Felted Wine Sock for my boss, and the scarf I did earlier for a Manager in my department, I gave it to her this morning, she loved it. Thanks Sharon for sending me your copy of Yarn magazine with the pattern for me to borrow, but I had already got a copy, I will send your copy back soon, thanks again for the lovely gesture, do you know what, it arrived on Sunday, a knock at the door, DH answered, a lady handed over the parcel, and we don't have weekend delivery only usually letters by the postie on a Saturday during Christmas seaon, and I don't think we have had any of those this year in Kiama.














Only two more working days then off for over 4weeks...yahoo.

Marti I hope your parcel arrives soon (you will get two now, the original match parcel and just a small Christmas parcel), I was hoping it would before I finished work tomorrow, so I would know you got it OK. I will try to get on the internet at #1 son's and check while I am on holidays, well before he moves from across the road, they are going to move in with her mother and step dad who have bought a house in Wollongong with a granny flat out the back, so they will have a bit more privacy and be closer to work, but I will miss them, #1 son is going to miss being at his father inlaws, he loves it there, and he will certainly miss his swim in the river and walk on the beach each day, but they will have a swimming pool in the backyard and the beaches will only a 5 minute drive.

I wish you all a very happy christmas and a great New Year, and I will catch up with you all in the new year. I hope to see alot of white Christmas photos on blogs, it just looks so lovely.

Cece, I forgot to take my knitting place, I was walking around with the camera this morning thinking that there was something else to take, but I couldn't remember, and as usually I just remembered now while typing this.

Have a great Christmas.
