It's been a while since I wrote a blog post and we've had a whole Christmas and the start of a new year in that time. The decorations came down last Thursday, it's never as much fun dismantling the tree as it is making it pretty but it is nice to have a proper clean around and get things back to normal. The hallway looked so drab without the decorations I had on the table so a nice vase of daffodils were needed to cheer the house up a little.
The temperatures have dropped since I last blogged. In fact we woke on Sunday to find a light layer of snow.
We got off very lightly compared to the north of the UK! Whilst temperatures are probably about where they should be at this time of year, it was so mild in December that it's been a bit of a shock to the system. Which will make it harder to do what I plan to do this morning. I mean who wants to take most of their clothes off in a hall when it's almost freezing outside? I have booked myself onto a fitness pilates class at our local community centre and have also convinced a reluctant friend that she would enjoy it too! I think I need to physically move myself out of reach of the chocolate tin to keep to my intention not to keep snacking when I am not hungry.
This week sees our routines returning to normal, and I really do need to stay focussed on what day of the week it is - over the Christmas and New Year period each day ran into the next and I had to really think about what day it was, it felt like one very long weekend. It is my turn to host the Knit and Natter get together this week. There will be lots of news to catch up on since our last gathering. It is hard to believe that this time last year I wasn't involved in that at all!
I also have a decision to make regarding my car. The contract will be up in a few months and I need to decide whether to trade it in against a new one the same as I have now or to go for an electric version. Big decision, and any help with making it will be gratefully received!
I hope the weather isn't impacting on anyone's plans for the week - keep warm and keep safe!

I hope your Pilates class goes well; and that they turn up the heat for you. I'm finding it very hard to get motivated to leave the house with these cold temps were having too!
Interesting...we are also in the middle of deciding about an electric vehicle. Will be interested in knowing what you decide. How did that Pilates class go? You are a brave soul...having a good time in your group exercise classes. But, I have to agree, moving myself away from the chocolates would not be a bad first decision!! Here's to a great week ahead. And hooray for starting the new year with some snow. (There may or may not be a bit of mocking in that hooray!)
