doomdaysfor the Christmas card. Seeing the beautiful Salem made me smile. It's also my first Christmas card so props to you for getting them out so quickly.
I posted all of mine at the end of last week, and for the first time in years wasn't told that my cards probably wouldn't get there in time. And yes, I was always aware of that, counter person. But, I'm giving myself a gold star this year.
The Christmas fair went well on Saturday, we didn't make a load of money but always knew we wouldn't due to the location. But what we did have was fun and James got experience selling and got his business cards out there and did sell a nice lot of stock so that was great.
We had a table next to the live music, so it was both a little noisy and also fun having a bit of a chair dance to the Christmas songs. Which is what I was caught doing on Re.F.Use's live stream on Insta *g*
There was also a most amazing pay as you feel hand-pulled wood fired pizza stall. Oh man, that was so good. Only three flavours to choose from but so incredibly tasty. It's good I didn't go there until the end of the selling period or I'd have been tempted to get another slice.
Here's a photo of James' at our stall, sadly you'll just have to imagine me rocking my reindeer antler headband. ( In here )
Yesterday we went to the cinema. Some of you will know how much I love my cheesy Christmas film at the cinema where I get a festive drink from Costa in a festive cup. Well, yesterday I didn't have the cup as I use my reusable now, but I did get the drink and film and oh, it was good. We saw Boxing Day and yeah, it's not the best film I've ever seen but it was Christmas'ey and I had my drink and yeah. I missed that tradition last year.
We also did the usual Tim Hortons breakfast then grocery shopping, and also picked up an Olio order where I requested a loaf of bread and was given three. I guess the food waste hero was buried in bread donations yesterday.
Today James had an appointment with his orthopaedic surgeon. Normally I go to all his appointments but he was only given two hours paid off from work so had to go straight from his appointment to work. It went okay, he's been referred to get a new splint made for his foot and for investigations to see why his ankle is swelling, also to the back surgeon as it looks like he'll need the nerves in his back burned off again, and all I could think as he was telling me was, here we go again. It was nice to have some time off with no hospital visits.
To end on something totally different, though probably caused by thinking of the hospital appointment before I went to bed. I had a Musketeer h/c dream last night except Athos was a bastard who made Aramis hoover even though Aramis was injured. I guess my brain needed a Modern AU with a callous!Athos.
Oh no, not the end. Forgot to say, my neighbour fixed the fence so no paying at this point. It will need to be professionally done in the future, but right now it's up and that's great. Though when I was checking it out I saw I've lost half my containers from the flower shelf. I guess the storm took them so goodness knows where they are now. I'm just glad they must have been blown over the fence and not toward the house and windows as they were full of soil and therefore heavy.
