Solstice today, so it is all uphill after this, daylight-wise. Also, only one day until DiS Secret Santa!
What are we all up to? I am going to my aspie book club this evening which I am disproportionately excited about because I missed it last month. That’s about it.
Proper effort to drag myself out of bed this morning. WFH to steam Christmas puddings and save travel time to start packing up our house to move. Hopefully the last time we have to pack up our lives for a good few years!
Awake at 6.15 despite it being holidays. Kids have horrible habit of waking much earlier than on a school day…
Off to the market for cheese and last minute shopping bits, trying to get boys to have hair cuts and then collapsing in front of the telly later I reckon.
Morning FL and all. The Cribs were great last night, we took along a mate who was sceptical to say the least and he is now a Jarman convert. Way more fighty than I’ve ever seen a Cribs gig, the TV nearly got dragged into one as he was holding back some drunk and violent twat who eventually got kicked out.
The train journey was good thanks. She was so excited about it she got into her coat, hat, and gloves a full hour before we had to set off! Took lots of colouring and drawing in the end, then played on the tablet for the last half hour.
She went to the pantomime with school a couple of weeks ago, but other than that it’s her first time.
good day to you. quite like the long nights during winter, they have a melancholic air i’m quite partial to.
gonna make a practice cake for when i visit the fam on christmas day. multi layered sponger/chocolate/malteser beast. i will probably end up not getting round to it.
