What's on tv?

 I was convinced that Christmas Day was Wednesday.  That's what comes of being nailed to the sofa every day.  Very disappointing to realize I still have another day before Gabby arrives.


I have been watching You Tube videos, including Living Big in a Tiny House.  My favourite is from 5 years ago, when they visit Glen, who did an Amazing Lord of the Rings Inspired Van conversion.  That is his door, above, made using just plywood, which he planes to reveal the layers.  Below: 
Plywood carved into amazing cupboard doors, with coloured perspex backing.

Tiny house living wouldn't be for me, but it's interesting to see what other people create for themselves.

I thought I was mending, but suddenly yesterday evening, when I cosied in to watch a good film (Glass Onion with Daniel Craig), I fell asleep sitting up in the chair.  I had already had 3 naps that day, and then spent nearly all the evening asleep, missing most of the film.  Then I fell into bed and slept all night (bar the usual loo wakes).  It was 7.30 before I got up, and I am having a quiet morning.  Everyone I've spoken to says that they have had this bug and it lasts 3-4 weeks.  It has different add-ons (glad I didn't get the ear infection one).  It's been doing the rounds since October.

Right, time to hang up the washing and then have some soup for lunch.

  1. BB watch Knives Out- it’s the one that they made before Glass Onion, you will love it, there is a new one too but I can’t think of the name, we
    Will watch it over Xmas . Virus’s hit bodies hard and need time to let the body recouperate after the onslaught of germs. It will pass, keep that as your mantra. I was unwell Xmas day 2019 and still v poorly by February 2020. I thought I’d never bounce back as it felt endless. Keep dozing and resting but get out in the garden for little potters when you can as fresh air and natural light is so important to overall health.
    I’m at the stage where I have NO idea what day it is lol I quite like it

    1. I've seen too. Glass Onion was the 3rd. Will watch it again over Christmas. Yup, I agree with you about viruses hitting bodies hard. I do feel better out in the fresh air so will try and potter outside when I can. Hopefully the vitamins you sent will kick in soon.

      SO fed up with my own company and cant wait for Gabs to arrive lunchtime tomorrow.

  2. I rewatched Knives Out the other day, and weirdly it was almost like watching it for the first time ... maybe I had had a few drinks the first time around. I need to rewatch the second film and then finish up with Glass Onion. I love the Living Big in a Tiny House channel, but some of them are actually bigger than my living arrangement, I like the really tiny ones, but I doubt I would want to go any smaller.

  3. Friends of ours went to York for a week's holiday, had a fabulous time but all 3 came back with THE VIRUS! Maggie said she had never felt so ill and her get up and go has gone. Its obviously doing the rounds of the UK. I've got Knives Out recorded to watch, just watching Christmas at Chatsworth, but its the one after they opened back up from Covid. We went this year and the theme was fairies. Hope you feel cheered up when Gaby arrives. Xx

  4. I had Christmas Day down as Friday. Would it have come and gone without me realising? Who knows. I've written a note to remind myself to take the turkey out of the freezer tonight. Let's hope I read the note before going to bed.

  5. Tis the season to catch all manner of sniffles and bugs, it ripped through our house and work the last few weeks and tends to linger (I'm still sneezing).
