The Season Begins…

It was a busy/weird week last week, but I’m glad to be back in action for the start of Christmas imaginings…
We had a fractured night last night.
The smoke alarms went off around midnight – for no reason that we could see.
I had not long slipped into a lovely sleep, which was something that has been hard to come by lately.
We got that alarm sorted.
Then it went off again seven minutes later.
My Babe deactivated our bedroom alarm, as that seemed to be the one that was triggering the others.

Back to bed.
And back up around 2ish, when they all went off again.
We were all stumbling around like zombies…decided eventually to deactivate all of them, and waiting to see how soon the electrician can come and fix them – they’re meant to be hardwired into the electrical system, which in turn (I think) is supposed to continually charge the batteries.
Because when the batteries run down, the alarm goes off.

Until they’re fixed, we’re following a roster as “human smoke detectors” – someone stays up all night to check for smoke. Seems like overkill, but even though we think there’s no actual fire hazard, we’re not completely sure what’s setting them off. And we’d all be lying awake wondering.
It’s Sweet Bean’s turn tonight. ❤

Well. In other news – we got the tree up today. I haven’t decorated it yet. I have put snowmen, Santas, baubles, and angels around the place 🙂 I’ll probably post pictures when I’ve done the tree 🙂
Sneak peek!

Yay!

The day was dry, but cool enough to do stuff (not something that’s been common lately).
I potted some plants. Organised some things. Did some washing (which seemed to dry almost instantaneously…)
I got another rainbow tie-dye dress at a Lifeline sale recently.
It certainly cheered up my backyard!

I already had the rainbow throw/cape thing.
You would think that wearing them both together would be a bit too much.
I would say that, in my opinion, you would almost certainly be wrong!
