So yesterday,I did no ironing but did make up this little fella, the first of my penguins ready to post off to my niece as a little seasonal extra. The detailed instructions on the Flutterby blog were very clear to follow. Still writing cards, food shop done and a much needed trip to the hairdressers. Emailed a reply to a fellow postcrosser who wanted to know where a Canadian Mail a Moose card I sent was purchased! Postcards received from Belarus{ yesterday} and China today.

Two buses{ very full} to travel to Encore singing group at Liz's house. An early coffee break as our vocal coach was late. Coffee,home made mince pie and a glass of Irish cream followed by vocal exercises and singing parts of Jerome Kern medley. Further coffee then ending with Chattanooga choo choo. Our vocal coach was sporting a very fetching turquoise quiff! Home for lunch, two more episodes of Modus, ironing and registered two postcards from Germany and Portugal. This evening will be enjoying a meal with my walking group at our local Slug and Lettuce.

To the cinema today to meet my daughter, luxury seating in recline and dine. We did not dine but did recline as we watched " Fantastic Beasts" Very enjoyable followed by lunch in Comptoir Libonais, Chicken,feta salad and spiced hot chocolate then home on the bus. Chat and tea then Chinese takeaway before driving her home with more food, toilet rolls and her Christmas tree!

Three
Coffee in bed and cuddles with the cat to start the day! Finished knitting mini penguins, three in total so now just need to make them all up and knit sleeves and hands for Kokeshi doll and neckbands for teddy bear dresses, and embroider features and sew in loose ends. Phoned my aunt to arrange a date to visit, emailed my German penfriend to say thank you for the beautiful advent calendar. Watched first two episodes of a Scandinavian thriller on I player called Modus. Very good, eagerly awaiting the next installment. Finished reading Cursed[elves] and started Butterfly Islands, not sure about the storyline yet, maybe a tad far fetched but it may grow on me. Ironing pile decreasing too!

One very unhappy cat, starved as instructed and definitely unhappy to go back in her carry box was delivered to the vet at 8.30 a.m.with instructions to phone at midday. Time for a quick coffee before catching the bus to go to " Singing for fun". The last practice for our Christmas concert next Friday. A much more relaxed process with our vocal coach Beth with time for coffee and chat midway.
My husband met me at the bus stop then straight to the vet to collect our cat. No abnormal blood results so carry on as normal unless she has another episode. Now reading an elvish tale. Finished second snowman hat and scarf and about to start two penguins! Trying a recipe recommended by a friend for a salad of sweetheart cabbage,mayonnaise, black pepper and olive oil{chilli flavoured} to accompany roast chicken, chips and salads.

One
Choir this morning, our last practice before the dress rehearsal and concert next week. An intensive rehearsal with a tense choir master, always the way so close to performance. An advent calendar from my German penfriend arrived in the post, a lovely surprise! Reading an absorbing ghostly thriller, a token amount of ironing, then a trip to the vet as our beautiful cat had a fit this morning. After a thorough examination she was booked in for blood tests tomorrow.
