Festive workhorse

A cleaning day today!
Got stuck in changing beds, cleaning bathrooms, washing etc. Unfortunately a dark wet day so my trusty Aga is doing a great job of drying the clothes.

Three good things:
1. I cleaned the downstairs shower ceiling with bleach, our extractor fan is not working that well so a bit of mold on the ceiling! It's amazing what a difference a cloth & some bleach makes!
2. It's the shortest day today, Spring is round the corner ha ha!
3. Lydia coming for her tea.
It's very satisfying when you do these cleaning jobs .. and then you wonder why you didn't do it sooner., must be lovely having the Age to keep thing cosy..
Longest day for us...

A cosy image. Our days are nice and long and hot. Seems silly making plum pudding in this weather, but I made 5 yesterday. 1 gluten free (turned out ok) and some to give away to our neighbours. Across the road are two 94 year olds so I make a big one so they have it for family.

Your cosy corner and the clothes would smell so sweet being dried like this! Longest day here today- have to go to bed when its light which I don't like!

I love the homely cosiness of your Kitchen Pat -- the Aga is such a wonderful old friend not only for cooking but also for drying clothes ! It sounds as if you have been very busy - everything will be spick and span for CHRISTMAS !

Loved your story, what a beautiful stove!

@susiemc Only one bed was B&B Sue, I have been very quiet this last few weeks! Only one couple in for one night next week & then regular guy back week after new year.

@dide you have been busy Dianne, very satisfying! You put me to shame I buy ours!

@gijsje Better tomorrow hopefully Bep!

@maggiemae stays light until well past 10.30 in. Mid summer here so I know how it feels. All clothes dried except two sheets, they will go on a clothes maiden overnight,

@happypat ha - it’s the only Christmas baking I do! No cake or shortbread or mince tarts from this house.
December 22nd, 2017  
@dide Still more than me!! I used to do lots but since family have left there is only us two & we don't need cake! I do make my special biscuits for visitors & B&B though.
December 22nd, 2017  
@loweygrace Yes onwards & upwards but in theory the worst of winter weather to come....its all in thevmind though!
December 22nd, 2017  
What a busy time you are having. Today is the first day I have had free all month and I have to admit that apart from doing the ironing I have had a very lazy day.
December 22nd, 2017  
@onewing Sounds busy but not that busy Babs. No B&Bers in to speak of & only me & Harry in house. Family coming for Christmas but we will all muck in!
December 22nd, 2017  
So cosy
