Ten things for which I give thanks this week…
1 – I am thankful that, although I still can’t post pictures from my computer, directly, I have found a workaround and so I am back in time to wish you all a Merry Christmas…
2 – We have had a few great sunrises the last few weeks and in this part of the world – “Red sky at night – shepherd’s delight, Red sky in the morning – shepherd’s warning!”
3 – In other weather phenomena – here is a rainbow that greeted me on my arrival at work and also to be seen, the local mosque – evidence of how multi-cultural Bradford is…
4 – And inside work, we have a new cleaner who has brought in some greenery to brighten the windowsill…
5 – And still at work – I managed to catch out some colleagues with the following photo – I told them I had been on a quick trip to the Arctic Circle to see the Northern Lights and snapped this from the plane – in fact, it is a photo of the ice build-up in our gelato freezer, turned upside down lol…
6 – Last week, there were still a few apples on this roadside tree – looking for all the world like Christmas baubles – oh and I picked up a few windfalls which have grown and ripened since last time I harvested some – talk about a late harvest…
7 – The Winter Jasmine is flowering – tiny flowers with a delicate scent…
8 – Most of the food shopping for the twelve of us who will be here on Boxing Day is done…
9 – presents are all bought and wrapping is under way and one especially for Clark ” What type of music do sana’s Elves listen to at work?
Rap!”
10 – Here in England, if you are lucky enough to have a local branch, Christmas begins when you hear the Salvation Army Brass Band playing Christmas Carols…
Have a Very Merry Christmas Everyone!
