A week-end al fresco
We spent the whole week-end at our local garden centre/cafe' for their Christmas Market (9 am to 6:30 pm on both days).
Luckily the weather was rather mild and we even had sunshine on Sunday. It was fun but exhausting.
It took me a couple of days to recover: my left knee and ankle were swollen and the knee didn't quite feel right. Oh the joys of getting old!
We sold quite a few cards and calendars: so we are quite pleased about it.
The stall looked really good - thanks to Adrian's superb eye for visual merchandising - and inviting I thought. Of course not everyone stopped by; a couple of neighbours (not from the same household) tried really really hard not to notice it was there. Sometimes it's good to be invisible.
On Sunday as I was coming back from Mc Donald's with our lunch, I spotted a very old bus on the High Street
I had Monday off work. In the morning I went for a much needed massage (on Sunday morning I woke up with a bad lower back but it got better during the day) and I baked some biscuits in the afternoon which turned out only cosi'-cosi'.
I hope I'll have better luck with my baking on Friday and other food preparation on Saturday, as we're having neighbours and friends around for a 'Natale Tricolore', an Italian-themed festive party.
