19.12 Day 94 . . . The Tree Goes Up

We need to kick this habit of getting up late!
The first few times we have given ourselves a break and talked ourselves into the fact that it was because we had both been flat out busy recently, that we needed these lay in late mornings. Now I think we are starting to just enjoy it and getting lazy 😂
So yep we were late up having laid in bed listening to music, chatting and checking social media rubbish - well some was research based . . . Learning about cold roofs and warm roofs, I’ll leave that one there!!
Tre made breakfast, we decided to have a healthy omelette but then changed that concept by throwing in some remainder lardons we had in the fridge . . . and a pinch of chilli . . . Got to say it was lovely.
I then cracked on with some bank admin stuff that had raised its head. I also did some research on the requirement of snow chains in certain areas, as we may be driving to Pau after dropping Munch to fly home next week. Looks like we may get away without having to buy some. Tre finally got her wish to wash and re-proof our walking coats. We’ve been meaning to do this for weeks but didn’t have the liquids we normally use - having finally got some on the last trip to the UK they were off and running in the washer.
That done Tre stuck some Christmas tunes on Spotify and I knew it was time to put the decorations up. As I mentioned before I’m not a massive Christmas and decorations fan, so I was a little reluctant to start. That said it turned into a lovely couple of hours - apart from stringing the new baubles! New tree looked a treat if not a little lonesome in the room with no other real decor scattered about. Lights on the tree and second set strung on the room beams and we were sorted. We were both quite pleased with our very minor attempt to ‘Christmas Up’ our little hideaway.
We spent the remainder of the day doing little jobs, I caught up in some of the penguins posts and Mr Annals finally sent through some photos he’d taken at the roundhouse last Saturday - better late than never 😂.
Tre was busy doing I don’t know what - but she didn’t stop. Oh yes . . . She made a massive bowl of very cheesy cauliflower cheese for dinner, which went down a treat with some very French sausages. It didn’t look that great in the plate, but tasted fab.
The evening was a very chilled affair, TV on for a while before retiring to bed and watching another episode of the very weird 1899 . . . I just know this is gonna have one of those endings that leaves you asking ‘what’s the hell have I just watched’ . . . I hope it proves me wrong.Read more
