Blooming lovely.

Finally I have my 1st bloom, I love an Amaryllis in January, very colourful on a grey day. 

Only 3 buds on the 1st stem, the 2nd stem is looking promising, should flower for a couple weeks. Still only leaves on my other 2 bulbs, I think these are the only flowers I'm going to see. 

Just under half our Christmas cake left, it's lovely with our afternoon coffee, I will be sorry once it's all gone. Lovely and moist, I made it deeper this year and it has worked well, we still have Christmas treats, but I have packed them out of sight. 

Book 3 read this year, I was very unsure as I started this book, the writing style not to my taste, but I kept going, loved the plot, its nice to read something a bit different. 

I/we have done very little in the past few days, we managed to walk everyday except Saturday, it rained all day, too wet to go out. I did an average of just under 5,000 steps each day, this week I hope to do more, the forecast is dry, so should be able to get out every day.

I have done very little crafting, I am playing without getting the results I hoped for, but I'm not ready to give up yet, I hope to cut out some clothes and start making things. I had Molly on Monday morning, Will was at school, George at nursery, it was fun playing with a baby, she is 6 months and now getting interesting. 

Today is sign class, i've had a negative test, but I'm not feeling great after a terrible night, so I'm giving it a miss, hubby was going to go with me, but we can start back next week.

No plans to go anywhere, we do walk to village for what bit of shopping we need, mainly milk, veg and fruit.
