Just too much.....

We had more snow. In fact about another foot. Huffle went out first thing and started clearing the drive and was still doing it when we came back around 3pm though I'm guessing he came in quite a bit to do his work.

The bus was running though I don't understand why as it seemed as bad as the day it didn't run! Moo and I decided to brave the weather again and go to knitting, thinking that all the major roads would be clear. Silly us. They were terrible and we had to go very slow. Still, we got there just after 10:30 and sat and knitted with the rest of the table, eating chocolate covered Orios (well just the one yum yum), and chatting. I started a new sock and Moo carried on with a dishcloth I started.

Moo and I went for lunch, though we had a lot of trouble parking. Everywhere was crazy. Damn Christmas shopping!! We had a lovely lunch of butternut soup and a bagel in the cafe and then perused a few shops before walking/sliding to the car and popping to another couple of shops. Too many cars on the road, too many people shopping, too much snow, not enough grit and salt on the roads!

It was really cold day today and not at all the right temperature to stand on the porch and put the Christmas lights up, but we did. And then we put the big baubles up. Half of the lights weren't working so we tried to bunch up the ones that weren't, hide them and just hang the ones that were. They don't look great but it might have to do until we get some more which will probably be after Christmas now. Moo and I also went through the Christmas boxes and put the greenery on the mantelpiece and the stair rail and placed some Christmassy things about. Looking nice. All we need is the tree now.

After dinner, Small and Huffle played on the Wii, Moo and I finished the Beano jigsaw and watched Carpool Karaoke and Smallest played on his tablet.
