I am sitting here dripping blood over the keyboard gently like an over-fed vampire, having just had my broken tooth finally removed, and the replacement slapped straight in within 30 seconds! So I have a much better smile than I have had for a few months, except for the blood oozing which is a bit off-putting, and of course with only one half of my top lip within my control I also look like I'm doing an Elvis impression!
I am sort of getting Christmasified (I suddenly came up with Christmasticated - I guess I'm that too!). I think whilst it is quiet I might write some Christmas cards - it is quiet partly because D-d is at her part-time job down in Au Naturelle (always sounds as if it is a nudist supplies shop - but it isn't honestly!). The other reason it is quiet is because poor old husband's body clock is totally screwed at the moment, and he has just gone to bed! At a time when even on nights he would be due to get up soon, but he hasn't slept for nearly thirty hours except for an hour in the armchair, and so I told him better to go to bed properly than just doze in the chair again.
I think I might go and make some ginger shortbread to take to the faith supper and quiz on Friday. A faith supper is not really a religious thing - it's called that because you all have faith in everyone bringing something to share! I got this recipe from a magazine - if it works I will make more for Christmas. Now is a good time to cook - as long as I keep my mouth shut to prevent blood drippage(!) - because I can't eat the ingredients as I go along!
I could also sit and put glitter on pine-cones - as you do.
Someone at Church suggested that the Sunday School children could make decorated pine-cones - I don't know who, or why, but my sister's brother-in-law and my niece spent ages collecting pine cones whilst dog-walking, and then even painted them all with spray paint, and brought them in to me. Much to my suprise - because it hadn't been MY idea, that's for sure!
Anyway, the children did some on Sunday, alongside other things, but there are still piles of them, and it occured to me that if we finish them we can sell them by the basket-full at the church coffee-morning next week - so D-d and I are doing a few each evening. I have to say actually they look really nice!
I will only let myself collapse back in a heap and read fan-fic when I have done something productive. Yes. *Nods head vigorously*.
