So today has been Christmas Day. It’s been different that’s for sure. I realise that because of what’s going on in the world at the moment it will have been different for a lot of people.

Well it should have been. But I can pretty much guarantee there will have been a lot of people breaking rules. People will be visiting family or friends, meeting up in other peoples houses. There will be some people that have followed the rules and done what they should have so well done them.

It’s pretty much a given that those who’ve broken the rules will be the ones bitching and moaning about another lockdown.

I heard from a friend earlier today from Scotland. He’s got MS aswell but he’s been a great help to me when things haven’t been great. He asked me about the vaccination and if I’d had it. I said no not yet and he said he had his earlier in the week. I said that probably because he lives in the Fridged north and that they do things differently up there.

But yeah he’s had his and I’m just waiting now until I get the call to say when I can get mine.

So back to today. It’s been a quite one. And more quiet than I expected. So for my main meal today I had this:

Chicken nuggets and chips. It all started that when I got up this morning I went into see mum and say Merry Christmas.

That’s when she tells me she was having trouble breathing again. So after checking oxygen levels and dad doing the blood pressure check and a call from Katie. She was bullied by all of us to go to the hospital.

She’s been there since about lunchtime. There was a lot of fannying around before she would go but eventually dad got her in the car and off they went. So she has been admitted for the night. She’s been pumped full of antibiotics and fluids and other bits. It isn’t COVID thank god it’s just another chest infection. She seems to just be picking them up for the fun of it.

She rang earlier to tell us that she was staying in and what had been going on. She sounded a hell of a lot better than she did this morning. As soon as I saw her this morning I expected that she’d be going to a and e. But the hospital is the best place for her. They can do a hell of a lot more than we can here and they have all the tools aswell.

I know she’ll be ok. She’ll be out tomorrow and that’s when we’ll be have a family Christmas meal. It’ll beat the hell put of the chicken nuggets and chips I had today.

So the other day I got some pictures of some of the things I’ve been making.

I made a Birthday card for Katie from all of us:

Other crafty bits I’ve done are a needle felted snowman:

I’m quite impressed with it and I think it looks cool.

I did some Christmas Knitting as well. A pair of socks for mum and a hat for dad.

As for other crafts there been some tangling. And my work has been published yet again and shown on tv.

Here are the shots from the book on TV:

Here are some of the other tangles I’ve done:

I’ve also been working on some flowers and yet again they’ve been on tv:

There have a been a couple of other card. 1 a sympathy/condolence card and the other as a congratulations card for becoming a grandmother. Bothe in related.( you probably guessed that but I felt it needed to be said).

On the congratulations card this was also my first attempt at fussy cutting and decoupage. So I other word I mad the bear a bit 3d by cutting out duplicate parts and layering them up with foam pads. Again it’s looking pretty good and I’m happy with it. I’m also happy with the condolence card but I feel I need to work on using the Pearl drops and getting them even and rounder.

Another thing is that Zoe spent the night with me last night. It’s the first time in over 12 months that she’s done that. It was great to have her in my room. The only issue is that I ended up sleeping across my bed rather than the normal up and down position.

She decided to take up the bottom end of my bed and she’s doing it again right now. It was something like this:

She isn’t a tiny puppy anymore. I still love her to bits though.

And with that update I hope you have had as good a Christmas Day as you can and that you’re staying safe.

Love and light.
