This week has been a shambles of gardening and preparation for Christmas Day. I played golf on Sunday 20th December 2009 and our playing partners were Ray & Norma Presdee. We had a good day & I managed to scramble into respectable territory by not wiping any holes.
The rest of this week has been divided by gardening, Christmas shopping and preparing the house for Christmas.
Monday 21st December we had our normal F-Troop Day at the Golf Club where we felled down one of the big trees and did a Christmas tidy up of the course.
I had a few hours at the hospital on Friday to check out a rose thorn injury from my gardening efforts at home on Tuesday after golf. There was no infection or anything sinister like a spider bite - just internal bruising from the thorn.
One of my new toys from this week's purchases was a steam H20 mop which has proved to be a great purchase for my floors. It cleans the tiles beautifully & does quite a good job on the carpets as well - so my floors have all been rejuvenated through the week.
Rod, Anne & Joel came for their traditional breakfast on Sunday morning before golf - Bacon & Eggs on the menu this morning. Joel was impressed with my Christmas Train & we enjoyed a walk through the garden. Rod checked out all the wrapped presents to see if he got a Toblerone Chocolate & was a bit distressed when at first everyone seemed to have one except him. (They are a bit obvious in the wrapping)
The rest of the week has been taken up with Christmas shopping and house preparation. One of the good things about the "Christmas Clean" is that with the tidy up one finds many mislaid items like my housekey that I put in one of my golf vests that has been missing for months.
Our long awaited leather lounge arrived today (Christmas Eve) & thankfully it fitted perfectly & is just what I wanted for a TV Lounge. Very, very comfortable which may not be a good thing.
Shane & Rod collected our old lounge on Tuesday afternoon & that is finding a happy home with one of Shane's friends.
All is ready for Christmas Day so we can look forward to a nice relaxing day with the family.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE & may you have a lovely day. All the best for 2010.
