Green shoots

8:30pm and in the kitchen.

It's been the first day of holidays and after a very late night/early morning of finishing off work, a day of very little was mostly achieved.

Mrs theWeir was given space to do great domestic things to satisfy her sense of achievement and the bairns and I watched some Christmas stuff, did some jigsaw and picked up some messages* from the shops.

A glorious evening of chat and food with Team Liddle and another late night - this time wrapping gifts.

Balance of life returning.

*I recently had to explain to a neighbour what was meant by "going for some messages". Do you know? Also, there seems to be some debate about the origins of the phrase - Scotland or Liverpool too.

This plant was a bulb the weeWeir potted at Girls Brigade a few weeks ago. It's coming on well... I think.
