Thursday 12th December - Real life has its strange moments

 The men, or in other words BB and my brother spent a sweaty half hour transferring the contents of my father’s storage unit from a compact unit to one in the same building that is twice the size... and less than half the price. How can that be?

The original storage company has been bought out, and I discovered that the new unit pricing structure has some oddities. We shall be making some use of the extra space ourself as part of our 'clearing the clutter' plan, so we'll share the cost of the unit. What a saving, though!

My Christmas present from my father arrived today; a flat-packed rose!

It's a 'letterbox' present. They are so clever;

It didn't take long to pot it up. I was able to achieve this without making any mess whill while sitting on the settee, using the cardboard packaging as a tray.

Here it is sitting in a space in the bookshelves. Never hear; the candle is a battery-operated one. In fact it is the candle we gave my godmother for Christmas back in about 2016 or 2017. After she died we brought it back to remember her by. It has a handy remote switch.

She used to say she liked to have it on in the evenings for company. The on/off button on the remote is very worn from her fingers. 

So, two unusual experiences today...

Still no Corinne Lapierre stitching today, but I'm very happy with what I've done on the December Cover Story Collaboration piece today.

This afternoon was completely consumed by a routine cardiology appointment for me. All's well...

Sleep well, everyone.
