December 2013
I’m joining in with Julie (that sounds like a little song!) by recording last month in numbers.
I don’t actually keep a log of numbers, I use my calendar which serves as my mouse mat and my photos from the month to make the post. Not very technical but very accurate as I can’t move and go no-where if it’s not on my calendar. I’m going to try to look for more numbers this year though.
I’m not sure what has happened to my image this time. It is perfectly legible in Photoshop but by the time it arrived here I can’t read any of the numbers!! I’ll fix it before I print it.
31 pictures taken for project 365, that completes another year.
591 pictures taken this month but then we were away for
4 nights as a pre Christmas treat and then there was Christmas. Santa was very generous indeed and gave me a
100 mm lens for my camera
3 lunches with friends
1 lunch with family in a fun place in the middle of no where. It was an old mill now a craft centre and shop selling all sorts as well as coffee every day and Sunday Lunches!. Ben said he wasn’t sure about eating lunch in a shop although the pair of us had fun trying all the hats on whilst waiting for lunch.
1 visit to the hairdresser, I have had enough of growing my hair now.
2 nail appointments this month, just the way the days fell
1 new carpet fitted. A gorgeous dark red in our hall stairs and landing…I love it!
1 day with 2 appointments at the doctors surgery and 2 appointments at the dentist!!
Goodness knows how that happened.
1 craft evening complete with nibbles, wine and our secret Santa
1 lunch with my wednesday group. You may remember the fuss one of the ladies was making about our Christmas lunch. Well as it turned out, she didn’t come!
Mary made Duck terrine with confit of oranges which was ‘to die for’
I cooked a beautiful beef in red wine with chestnut dumplings for the main course and Jean and Sonia each made a dessert. No we couldn’t move afterwards but we laughed a lot and evereyone was thrilled with their Secret Santa.
52 cards received from Moo.com The second half of the year of Looking Up and Down.
6 days my dog was in the Kennels NOT a happy bunny or dog actually.
3 sad days this month. Life also happens in December not just Christmas
But we had 1 really fabulous, relaxed, fun, family Christmas Holiday.
I watched
2 films for the life of me I can’t remember the names of! We watched them one afternoon, one after the other, very unusual for us.
Love Actually
Polar Express
Four Christmases
While You Were Sleeping
The Holiday
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Miracle on 34th Street
and The Snowman
I always enjoy your Month in Numbers, Miriam!
Miracle on 34th St. Is one of my very favorites.
I’ve watched it nearly every year for as long as I can remember.
Lovely numbers, and that glass of champagne looks yummy!
Your mistletoe photos were beautiful; the last one did look like a tapestry.

I’m singing along to ‘joining in with Julie’ in a Playschool-esque way! Some lovely food and company in there
What a fun idea to print out your photos as moo cards. I like that a lot. I always admire you guys who count up your numbers in a month. I think I am far too scattered brained to do it properly! I can’t wait to see the photos you take with your new lens.
Happy New Year to you and yours Miriam! And thank you for keeping me company in my counting in 2013. It’s always nice to catch up on what’s been happening in your lunch group … and what colour your nails have been!
Many of the Christmas films I watched were on the Christmas24 channel and – to be honest – lots of the titles are very similar [A Bride for Christmas, A Christmas Wedding etc] that I can’t remember what I’ve seen anyway. Then next year I’ll watch them all again just in case I missed one!
And I do love the sound of lunch in the converted mill!

Wishing you a warm and wonderful start to a fresh new year. Thanks again for your company + support.

That photo of the glass of bubbly pulled me in. Loved hearing about your month. Sorry the sad days could be numbered at all.
