My little great grand-daughter is two years old today. I went to her party yesterday (Sunday) and she was so delighted when opening her presents, that to watch her was delightful for us too and kept all her grandparents and her two great grandmas happy just watching her.She liked the set of drums I bought her and so, I think, did her Daddy. Mummy will probably not be so keen! I have offered to keep them at my house if they become a nuisance - but I am willing to bet I shall not be required to do so. She had lots of lovely presents and they should keep her busy for a long time.

Well Christmas is upon us and we haven't had any snow yet! Not like last year - but I can't say I am sorry - I don't like being housebound because of the ice. Last year I couldn't get the car out for a week and did my grocery shopping online. How easy it is! A lovely young man carries in the goods. unloads them and all I have to do is put them into the cupboard. That means I handle the stuff just once instead of six times - once into the basket, a second time from the basket to the till, then again into the basket and once more into the car. Then when we get home I carry the goods into the house before I can put them into the cupboard. If you haven't tried online grocery shopping yet I can recommend it!!

I have recently been on a diet and lost a stone in weight - but - I fear some of it will be packed on again over Christmas. I have gone up a couple of pounds this last two weeks as I have been out for quite a lot of meals this month. My New Years Resolution will be to get back on the diet!!

Have a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
