well swampy and i had to go and venture into Southampton today to get a final few gifts for my family and we were dreading it, imagining the hoards of people we would have to battle through.
amazingly it was no more busy than a regular saturday and so the whole thing was quite relaxed.
As usual i went into waterstones and swampy bought me the most perfect gift...
i have always adored everything moomin related and first read the books back in the early seventies when i first learnt to read and even now i read mooninland midwinter every yule (i have a few pages left of this years re-read and plan on reading it tomorrow evening at bedtime)
this morning my beautiful magpie had to sit for a cuddle before we went out...
i gave my shaman drum a bit of loving care yesterday, damping down the skin a little as i had planned on using it for a yule pathworking i was doing with my soul systers in the evening. unfortunately i was feeling so tired and unwell i couldn't drum but was able to do the pathworking.
unfortunately swampy made a bit of distracting noise as well so i am planning another pathworking tomorrow morning when he is out with flynt. this gives me a good hour to sit in front of my altar and start my pathworking with some drumming.
my yule altar...
we have things looking festive here, paper chains and fairy lights in the hallway
candles and fairy lights in our living room
i spent one happy afternoon watching White Christmas
working on my festive yule blanket of classic granny squares...
and i love my tree...
