Seeing the old year out

Tuesday was about a final lovely walk in the old year, starring beeches, seizing the sunny day before rain returns 

Then Misfits arrived, small order, but you'll notice celebratory chocolate cherries.

And the limes for cordial which has become a staple around here. Ground chicken for chick burgers, yogurt and blueberries, a squash for a possible bread. And that's all she wrote.

A start on a long sprawling Delderfield 

Exactly as corny and readable as you'd expect from a Delderfield, great for a cosy long read, just the ticket.

The afternoon reading seems to have included a nap, the result of all the morning activity.

Then I decided I didn't need to keep up the decorations till twelfth night this year, so they're all packed, in one small box. Not a lavish decorator, me.

And all the garbage out, mail picked up, floors swept,  crocheting continued, into a lovely quiet evening at home.

You'll see suggestions for New Year resolutions in my New Year's Day post!

Happy evening, everyone, whatever your exciting plans!
