Day 31 – 22.12.14

Oh…I forgot to mention that whilst in Jersey I picked up a chest infection which all started the exact same way as my 2 cases of Pneumonia that I already had this year did….razor blade throat that went south!

By the time I got back to London last night I was well and truly on the way to a 3rd case of Pneumonia for the year…..go me! But luckily I had though ahead and got a script for some fairly hefty antibiotics “just in case” and as soon as I walked in the door last night I got started right away as I need to be able get out and about over the next few days as it is the only time I have to see London.

So…….

Today was another washing day and catch up day for me and my sister caught up with friends for lunch. As Christmas was approaching with warp speed and the house wasn’t overly festive I bought a few decorations and once my sister got home we made a ‘Eco-friendly’ tree and a few other things to brighten up the place a little.

Easy wreath – 3 lengths of snow dipped green garland plaited together then wrapped around a bent wire coat hanger..add some vintage baubles and Taa-daa!

One ladder drapped in a green drape = Tree

Also bought some Tulips as a thank you for my sister and her housemate for putting up with me.

 

The rest of the day was spent just taking it easy as with this delightful chest infection was making it hard to breath, so an early night was on the cards after pizza of course!

Day 22 – 13.12.14

Today was a lazy day as I was up since 4am and got smacked in the head with a case of jet-lag so I didn’t last long at all. Lunch had been organised with a long time friend who lives in London not far from where my sister lives. Roast chicken and veges was on the menu, which was much looked forward too.

Lunch was tasty and well prepared, so while sitting on the couch with a full belly and fierce jet-lag I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer and cat-napped on the couch for a couple of hours, luckily it didn’t matter too much to my host and guest.

I went to bed early tonight but I know that I will be wide awake at some ungodly hour as punishment for going to bed early…always happens when I want an early night!
