cake , music and writing

 Last night we had a thunder storm. Not one that just does a couple of ripples of thunder and then disappears, but one that crashes and bangs around for hours and lights up the sky like a flash going off on a camera. i was in bed, and reading, but the sky was more fascinating and i did debate in my brain whether to get up and watch it. ( Not that Master would say anything if i did because He would understand my fascination of the elements as they cleanse the earth. )
At three am i decided that sleep was not going to come and the dog was upset so i went and sat with her, and i think we both curled up together.
This morning it is like the storm never was ( apart from a few damp places on the earth and it looking all nice and bright again), and it struck me it wasn't the only thing that  disappeared over night. The big knot that i have been carrying about with me also seemed to have vanished.  For a week or two i have been holding on to the fact that parts of the house have to be pulled about again to remove old furniture and be replaced by new... and i don't like it .
Fortunately Master seems to have got used to my dislike of new and has tried  to keep things running along smoothly without introducing new furniture but He really did need a new desk. Yesterday we happened to find a beauty while we out for food, and He brought it, today it arrived.. and i have to admit that it looks really nice, despite the worries that i had in my head that it wouldn't fit or that it would look all wrong. Best of all it is a proper wood one and not one of them chipboard ones that so often are found. Once again He was right.
He has also set me the task of finding out the recipe for the Yule cake and getting it finished this week so it has a good soak of brandy before the celebrations. Other things that are being added to the list is more craft work... ( i am meant to finish four blankets before December ) and calligraphy and music practise. It looks like i am going to be busy, but at least i will be focused.
Have a fun weekend all
(((hugs)))
