On Friday, Mark and I did some Christmas shopping and then popped in to see Mark, Ana and Ariane.
On Saturday we were meant to go into London to see Terese, but as Vera was a bit under the weather, quiet and off her food, we stayed at home. It was lashing down with rain as well, so quite pleased to be indoors.
I made two doughs for ginger bread, one for a house and one for biscuits.We also did a bit of Christmas decorating, can't help myself!
On Sunday, we went to St Albans to see Fiona, Dan and the gorgeous Robbie. I can't believe we haven't seen them for so long! Robbie is so cute, a very happy, chatty boy - nearly one year old.
After lunch we went to Harpenden, where they had a Christmas market. It was mobbed with people, we walked around for a bit, browsed in the shops and I picked up another Christmas decoration. Vera was not herself all day, so we headed back after the market. She was not normal chatty, smiley self.
Once back, I rolled out and baked my gingerbread house and we had a relaxing evening.
On Monday, I went to the hair dresser's. I enjoy going to her house, cat on my lap and browsing her wedding photos as my colour was developing. In the afternoon, early evening I decorated my Gingerbread house. Got a bit of help with the sugar glueing from Mark though
I got a text from Fiona saying that she had to rush out of the class room to be sick at lunch time on Monday and at 9pm last night, I was sick too and it went on to be sick until 1-2 am. As a result, I felt like an old dish cloth this morning and have stayed in bed all day... I don't know if we brought the bugs to St Albans or where we picked them up, but anyhow, the joys of children & bugs!
Oh No! I hope we didn't cyber-send you the stomack flu from Sweden! It really sucks. Hope you feel better and that Mark and Vera feel good too. It's odd, I never remember my parents going down with the stomack flu after tending to us being sick, maybe they were and I just didn't notice, or we're a weaker generation...?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you still got so much done during your weekend and I love seeing your circle of friends. The ginger bread house looks professionally made! And by sorts, it is, by super mum! Love you! /Anna
