 Welcome to my Hump of the Week🐫

Brew with warm hug.

Breakfast.

I had a nice hot shower, 

Just laid on the top of the bed and fell back off to sleep.

Woke up later to the sound of rain and wind from outside.

Hubby had gone and got the newspaper.

(Good Lad).

Time to tidy up the house.....

I meanwhile had to decorate my Christmas Cake.

Pity I couldn't find any of my Christmas Decorations until I kicked a few boxes out of the way in the Dining room....

Glazed the cake with hot apricot jam.

Rolled out the marzipan. 

Added the fondant icing on the top.

Decoration followed.

Tea at 3

 We will be needing a boat soon, as the rain isn't stopping...

Hubby leaves the boat and chances the car....

He got the shopping done, while it was quiet in Lidl and Aldi.

I wrapped up the presents while he was doing that....

Hopefully this rain will stop, and we won't need a boat to get around tomorrow!
