Weekend reading

Thank you for the birthday wishes sent my way during the week. I truly appreciate every one of them.  Since then I've been working in the garden, cooking a meal at noon each day, keeping on top of the cleaning and dealing with odds and ends as they pop up. Two of them were me cutting Hanno's hair and Hanno cutting Gracie's hair and brushing her with a brush that takes out her undercoat. 

Birthday flowers.

I've been sleeping quite well and I think I'm getting back into my regular pattern. That's after two or three years of craziness when I would wake multiple times during the night and then struggle to go back to sleep. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Overall, everything is going well here, I hope it is at your home too. What have you been doing?

A multi-layer sole shoes for my grandma, in memory of good old days - This is Liziqi again. I've been watching her for a few years now and this is one of her older videos.

Another old Liziqi favourite. If you love cooking, watch this. It's her New Years Eve dinner.
