On the 11th and 12th day of December...

Well, it had to happen, sooner or later, and as with all Advent Calendars a day can go by without opening the window... in fact our chocolate one downstairs, is still on the 7th!


Yesterday was such a busy day that I only realised at 11:45pm that I hadn't had a chance to do my doodle and get it uploaded, so, I hope you forgive me, but I went to bed instead! 


Therefore, on the 11th day of December I would have drawn some Chocolate Coins. Instead, I did them today on the 12th for you, and also my drawing for the 12th of December: A Tasty Bowl of Noodles, as in a few hours we shall hopefully be dining at The Vietnamese in the Uplands - Me and Owain's Christmas work do. Just because you are self-employed and both work from home doesn't mean we should miss out on the party fun!

Oh yes, and our brand new fantastic mattress arrived today! We can't wait to go to bed tonight and sleep like babies...or preferably like adults who get a good nights sleep! 


Staedtler Pigment liner 0.1 black ink pen, Sharpie Permanent markers, Sainsbury's mini supertips scribble pens on a Unicef charity pamphlet and a dud photocopy of some sheet music ('What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life' by Michael Legrand and lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Quite possibly my favourite song).

On the 10th day of December ...

On the 10th day of December I tried to eat this Chocolate Truffle Pudding but alas it wasn't that nice. Sorry Nina - my dear pal bought 1 each for O and I yesterday. Perhaps I should have eaten it then but after half a Terry's Chocolate Orange, I think I might have been ill if I ate this, too! Anyway, it looked very pretty with an icing holly and berry on the top.


Today, Owain and I went with to visit Great Aunty Eva to wish her a Happy 101st birthday! It was astonishing how young she seemed and it was only when she showed us a photo of her  in her younger days (1920's!), that we realised how very long she has lived for! Happy birthday dear Eva!


We also went shopping for our Christmas tree and tomorrow we shall be decorating it , with all that glitters. Perhaps if I'm good I will not eat the chocolate coins we hang on it and draw them for this blog. Perhaps.




Sharpie Fine Point Permanent markers and British Red Cross biro on the Jenkins Bakery bag that the truffle came in. I love a nice crinkly paper bag, don't you?
