I’m seeing some friends for a Christmas meal today which will be nice, then tomorrow will finally sort out gifts to send home.
I’m absolutely exhausted. Not like one-sleep-will-do-the-trick exhausted - proper ‘need 2 weeks lying in a dark room’ exhausted. Can’t wait for the Christmas break so I can just switch off!!
All is fine here. I actually slept really well and woke up naturally before the girls woke.
Today: probably go for a walk this morning (maybe to the coast?), then football this afternoon! First time back in a football stadium since lockdown, for King’s Lynn Town vs Torquay. We’re going to lose badly but still, will be nice to show up.
Not really Saturday related, but can anyone recommend a good, free, ad-free MP3 player for Android? I have a bunch of albums stored on my phone from pre-Spotify days, and Google Play Music is shutting.
Really fed up of the fact Manchester has been in lockdown, then high tier, then lockdown, then tier 3 since March, almost forget other parts of the country can go and do stuff. So I’m going to my friends house for lunch and so M can see their kids because she told me yesterday “I’ll never be happy again”
Getting the tree and Christmassing the house today. It’s been 2 years since Noah came home from 10 weeks in Nicu so we’ll probably be a bit indulgent and open the fizz we got for Christmas last year.
Elf drew a moustache on MiniStack last night, what a disgrace.
Sainsbury’s delivery this morning - we ordered two boxes of kitten food, they’re bringing one box of adult cat food. I wonder how many times we’ll reject the adult food before someone scratches their head and asks why? I suppose I should get some clothes on before they arrive.
Anyway, it’s my other half’s birthday today. We ate heartily last night and she’s off for a socially distanced child free walk this morning so I’m on Jimbo duty. I guess we’ll be off to buy kitten food then.
Phil Spector Christmas music on the radio. I say to Mrs Stack “oh we haven’t listened to Phil yet, we’ll have to put that on later,” and MiniStack suddenly brightens up and says “Phil Lizzy?”
She’s amalgamated Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott and I’m very happy about it.
Just finished what felt like it was going to be a never-ending breakfast with the Very Hungry CaterpillaR.
Specific plans hinge on whether I can get a temperamental and seldom used printer to adequately print postage barcodes. Hoping to do some baking but it may be delayed.
