You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

One of my two dear coffee ladies lost her husband last night, after getting a post op infection that just refused to go away. She will be a mess and there is absolutely nothing any of us can do to help, at times like these, except be there if she needs us.

Brings back bad memories, he was a lovely man too. 

So I took myself off to the chaos of J's abandoned flat, emptied fridge and freezer, and pantry cupboards, and brought back the abandoned bedding to launder and fold before I pack it up for the Sallies. Make work to drive away the sads.

It is blustery out there, with occasional big fat raindrops, and we still have contractors cluttering the place up. I look forward to Christmas, they'll all go away and it will be peaceful for a few days.

And I have a small leg of lamb to look forward to tizzying up with all the trimmings to feast on. As well as the Santa present I have just ordered for myself, two pots of pink and orange zantedeschias from NZ Bulbs. I have never been disappointed by their potted lovelies. My mini Christmas lilies are out there on the deck table right now blooming their pure white heads off. Such a delight, and they do all the hardwork for me...
