It is a grey, wet, miserable afternoon outside my room but in the house it is warm and bright and there is laughter, giggling actually, the sound of happy young people together again for a few days.<\/p>\n
Pepsi is right here behind me; she is not well. I think she has pulled a muscle in her shoulder again and she looks sad but I keep her warm with lots of cuddles and blankets and a daily dose of Paracetamol for dogs.<\/p>\n
My desk is a big mess! Paul has been by shaking his head. <\/p>\n
There is paper and paint, ribbons and string, hearts and pegs. Paper houses that I have decopatched are on the windowsill waiting for their varnish. New Washi tape has just rolled onto the floor. A few little Christmas trees and some Christmas decorations are hanging from anywhere that will accept a hanging thing!
\nThere are bits of fabric, Cellotape, beads and scissors under tissue paper and my small guillotine is balanced precariously on top. I expect it will follow the Washi Tape if I don\u2019t re-arrange\u2026 Ooops, too late.<\/p>\n
My iPad, iPhone, and keyboard are trying to keep away from the paint, but the more I try to protect them the nearer they get to a new colour.<\/p>\n
But, the parcel is ready, taped up and ready to post out to Heather on Monday.
\nI remember to take a picture of it and as I lift up my phone I notice the card for her is still on my desk\u2026on the outside of the envelope!!!
\nI open the envelope, put the card inside and re seal it. It will make her smile when she sees a second row of Cellotape across the top of her parcel.<\/p>\n
My Simple Moment is not only filled with the trappings of Christmas but also with a sense of achievement; that I have organised the swap, and I have finished the little decoration. And, a sense of anticipation\u2026 will it work? is the postal system beginning to swell with decorations flying across the world and up and down the motorways?<\/p>\n
We shall see. I do hope so.<\/p>\n
