The last of the Tameracks that still have needles. We are still quite warm. Highs of 6-10C. Lows around -1–3C. Sunny today. Going to be a beautiful day for a long walk.

Started a sweater for a Christmas present. The recipient is quite tiny for a woman. The colour doesn’t show well here. It is actually dark brown.

I may go to town today. I still need a few items for Christmas cake. It is time to get busy for sure. I have four gifts almost ready. Our family is not big. It is always the guys I can’t figure out, however, I have one ready. Yay me

Hellos from Oakley. He turned 1 last Friday. I sang to him then on Saturday SWMBO and I took him on a 12km hike. He smiled all the was and no he wasn’t tired after. In fact when we got home, he still wanted to play catch.  The table next to him was my steal of a deal. I got it for $50. I had seen it previously in a store for $300. I wasn’t going to pay that, but $50 was good. I just love it. SHMBO is waiting patiently for me to grow sick of it so she can have it. Nope not going to happen.

I hurt

 Well, last week Wednesday I got a few groceries. I was all in a dither about the gal next door, coming to my place after school. I wasn’t sure what she would want for a snack. I also did not know if I had good plans for activities. On top of that, I was in a hurry as she gets out of school at 3:10 pm so would be here at 3:15. I decided to put the groceries on my balcony then retrieve them once I parked and got in. I wasn’t thinking and hurrying so tripped over the parking curb. I ended up hitting my head. My nose was bleeding.  I got the cat parked and rushed into the apartment to stop my nose bleed. Got the groceries in just in time. I called my daughter to come check me out. It is a 45 minute drive for her so it’s a big deal to ask her.  She came checked me out and watched me for a bit. As it was A did not want a snack. She played on her phone then decided to go to their apartment and check on the dogs. Next day, I had a black eye, my nose still was a tiny bit bloody, my knee was scratched and bruised. My chest felt like a steam roller has driven over it.  Now a week later the nose is sore, the eye still is a bit bruised, my knee is still bruised and my chest has been determined to be either really bruised or I may have a broken rib. Thankful for heat and ice.  The long and short is that my husband was always telling me to slow down. Guess he is laughing at me.
