Hello everyone.
It is halfway through January already, and we have had our first full moon.
On Tuesday evening, hubby and I took photos of the January full moon, also known as the ' Wolf Moon'. We thought it was spectacular. According to folklore and legend, wolves are more active at this time of year and can be heard howling on winter nights.
This first moon of the year is also known as the Ice Moon, the Old Moon and the Moon after Yule. Whatever the name, it was a sight to see and enjoy. Mind you, later on, we locked the doors and drew the curtains just in case a wolf decided to visit!
The rest of the week saw progress in finishing off a few outstanding jobs that I had been putting off: a cardigan had buttons reattached, a cross-stitch picture was framed, and a bag was washed and a button replaced - all little jobs, but they have been around for long enough now.
Meanwhile, Hubby has been painting and starting work on the kitchen floor. There has been lots of noise and some mess, but I can cope with that in the eager anticipation of a lovely new floor.
Poor D is feeling a little unwell at the moment because those nasty little germ bugs have decided to visit her. She wishes they would disappear into the night, along with any lurking wolves.
I hope you are all well wherever you are in the world and that you are cosy and safe. Have a lovely week ahead.
Beverley and a very cold-infested D

So nice! I hope D is feeling better now - children are infectious little beasts and they always seem so generous to their teachers in the spring term.
ReplyDeleteOne of the perils of working in school! She doesn't get colds too often but this one got through the defences.She just has a nasty cough now but will be fine in a few days.
DeleteLovely photographs of the wolf moon and apparently in January and February six of the seven planets in our solar system will grace the evening sky in an event popularly referred to as a “planetary alignment”... I'm sure there will be items on our TV's about it.
ReplyDeleteI do hope 'D' is feeling a little better now, there does seem to be a nasty coughing bug going around at the moment.
Enjoy the week ahead.
All the best Jan
Great photos of the moon. I love that you locked the door just in case!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your new floor.
I hope D feels better soon. Take care.
D will be fine but thank you for your kind wishes for her. I'll post a picture of the kitchen when it is all finished but it is already looking good.
DeleteI just checked and there are no wolves at the door tonight :-)
