Omg! That charity shop book corner is so well displayed. Chair and everything! Get me a pot of tea and a choc chip cookie 🍪 and I’m there! 😂
Right?! i fancied a cuppa a blanket and a wee read
Yes please, winter thrillers!
hopefully you saw my video? i shared winter thrillers on wednesday 😊
Patti in her Christmas jumper on her back, tail wagging, is both hilarious and incredibly cute. Lucy doesn’t seem as enthused about the festivities but she’s being a good sport.🐕I laughed when I saw the title “Scotzilla” in your library.😆“Wintering” by Katherine May is an excellent gift for someone. I choose the book about the maid.
Patti is the Queen of Cute when she is relaxing.
patti is very enthusiastic about everything lucy is a little more reserved about it all 😂
I would love a winter thriller fibe video. ❄️❄️
You got it!
hope you get a chance to watch it, posted some recs for you on Wednesday 😉
Don’t change one thing on your videos. I love them just the way they are. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
🥹🥹 that’s so so kind thank you so much 🥰
merry christmas 🎅🏻
It was so fun seeing Lucy and Patty! Love their Christmas jumpers!! 🎄
How fun, Christmas trivia!!!
Four calling birds🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦
Let it Snow ❄️❄️❄️
Merry Christmas, bookish friend!
well done on the christmas quiz questions 🥳
Yay always a good day when we get a weekend blog. A winter thriller blog would be great. Keep the book about the maids. Arthur sends love to Patti and Lucy.
thanks to you and arthur especially for our lovely colouring book! definitely keeping the book about the maids as a few of you have suggested to 😉
Love these vlogs. Festive content is fine with me ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you! ☺️
Johanna! Please stop saying you aren't creative! 95% of people live their lives in beige and neutral tones. You, my friend, express your creativity every day through your brilliantly colorful and joyful home and your equally joyful outfits. You are a literal explosion of creativity! It's one of the things that makes you so fun and interesting ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
awww 🥰 you are so so kind and yeah maybe i needed you to tell me this. thank you for your lovely words - i am very grateful!
Loving these festive weekend vlogs ♥️
Yay! Thank you! so glad you like them x
Heya! Love the weekend vlogs ⭐️ Patty and Lucy are extra cute this ep! Also, the cupcakes look amazing! No doubt they’ll be a hit at the office party. Re: the 2 books, I’d keep the maid one. Stay warm and take care out there! 💖
Yay! Thank you! thanks for watching and commenting 🥰 the cupcakes went down a treat in the office 🎉
keeping the maid one i think for sure
@@MeMyDogAndBooks love it!
Patty was so adorable with her xmas sweater and her little belly up in the air 😄🥰 I think you should keep the book about the maid. Sounds interesting!
thank you i let her know 🐾 and you and a few others said the maid book too so that’s the one im keeping 😉
Happy to celebrate whatever you are celebrating. Festivities of any sort are grand - cozy times, Christmas, baking or whatever. I think there are four calling birds and I forgot the last question 🫣
cosy times i’m here for 🎉 ha ha ha i forgot the other question too!
Omg Johanna, you have so much Christmas stuff! And the jumpers!
I know!! It’s about 15 years worth mostly second hand 😂
Love this Johanna. Sarah Pinonborough keep. Have a great Christmas 😊
Thank you! You too! Happy holidays 🥳
Your charity shops are great !
In comparison, most of our second-hand shops in Canada look like holding tanks where rubbish goes to die.
Thank you! they are pretty decent
😀😀😀
thanks so much for watching x
TK Maxx is definitely my guilty pleasure!😂
mine too 😂
😀 Well I mean I was raised Catholic but I am not practicing. I do not feel able to link myself to the Roman Catholic Church given what I know. For myself I guess I see Christmas as more Pagan and as something that should be fun for kids. I say should because it was a Holiday I hated as a child for reasons I won't go into. But I feel ok with the content. I think the older I get the more I seem to enjoy it. Or at least for the aesthetics and themed food. I do hate the consumerism that leads to people pushing past me or getting in my way even though I am in an electric wheelchair 🙄Unfortunately, there is no avoiding crowds at this time of year. And funny enough it's women who are more likely to push past or get in my way. And that wheelchair is not exactly slow. I'm waiting for someone to get in the way and then blame me for hurting them. I don't have eyes in the back of my head.
So after all that lol I'd say I am ok with Christmas but not people 🤭
people this time of year can be challenging for sure. i keep having to remind myself that you never know what’s going on in people’s lives as they run around. i hope you have a nice holiday filled with things that make you happy 😊
@@MeMyDogAndBooks as someone who has mental heath problems and is an empath I'm often aware of what others are probably going thought but there are just some people who don't think about others. As someone who has been using walking aids for years I shouldn't really be surprised about peoples attitudes. no time to move out of my why but plenty of time to ask me "what's wrong with you" People being people I guess. 🤷
Sorry to hear about your mam but I hope she is well. ❤
@@caoilo6812humans are indeed curious creatures 🙄
Jen @jensreadinglife has tagged you to do the Joy & Gratitude Tag. I don’t know if you have time to do it but it’s a good one.

@@MeMyDogAndBooks I don't know how you keep up with your own channel, let alone find time to watch other folks.😀
