We went out for a little walk this morning. Not the brightest day and - eeeekkk - it was SO cold! We only lasted a little while on our first beach walk. Husband slipped on the snow and took a tumble. He didn't hurt anything badly, but he is a little sore now! The second place we stopped at it wasn't quite as cold (still below freezing lol) and I took a longer walk while husband sat in the car. The beach was absolutely deserted. Although it was quiet I had a lovely time just walking, looking at what had been washed up and patterns in the sand. It was nice not to think about things for a little while
We did stop and pick up a few bits on the way the home. The list is really small now. I am hoping to pick up the last few things tomorrow - if the weather holds! We're under another Winter Storm Advisory. It looks like maybe freezing rain and snow this time. Fingers crossed it holds off until midday or later so I can at least get to the shops after a quick walk. Otherwise, I will be braving the shops on Christmas Eve - sigh. I really don't want to. Though today when we went it was quite quiet - quieter than a normal Sunday it seemed!
We also stopped at the in-laws on the way home. Daughter was going to have Baby A open her gift from them and daughter wanted to be able to video call with them. It was rather cute. Baby A sat nicely in my daughter's lap and helped open the presents. She even said oooohhh when she saw the gifts lol. So delightful! I can't wait to see her!
Back home, I got myself a nice cup of soup and spent the rest of the afternoon warming up lol
Hope everyone has had a good weekend and are ready for the week ahead!
You are a brave person to be walking in that freezing cold weather! I'd be hibernating at home! Sorry your husband fell, but, glad he didn't hurt himself.
ReplyDeleteI used to shop on Christmas Eve, after work, and, most of the time, the shops weren't too crowded.
How lovely that you got to see Baby A opening her presents from her great grandparents. I'm sure they were happy to see her, too. Is she their first great grandchild?
He's still feeling a little sore, but he'll be ok. I finished the shopping today. Tomorrow I'll just go for a walk and then it's all house stuff.
DeleteShe is their first Great-Grandchild. My MIL is especially excited to have her. She is still knitting things for her!
Somewhere there is a word for enjoying cold winter weather by looking at it from the comfort of indoors ... is it Swedish, I wonder...
ReplyDeleteIs that the idea of hygge? I think I'd go a little crazy staying inside all winter. I do like spending more time at home though after the morning walk. Winter here can last from November to March !
DeleteYour poor husband - I hope he's not too stiff and sore today. I'd stay safe and warm indoors while the weather does its worst. I can just visualise Baby A 'oohing' at her presents - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteHe was a bit sore today. He came home from work and ended up just laying down for a bit. I think he'll be stiff for a couple of days. She is such a delightful baby.
