Morning all,
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.
Have a great day folks 
Morning FL!
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!
Woke up to the sound of the bin lorry. Shouted “BINS!” and ran downstairs in my PJs to put the bins out.
Now back in bed and watching Christmas songs (Sufjan, natch) in bed with the girls.
Party was fun last night.
I WONDER IF THE POST OFFICE SLIP IS FOR MY SECRET SANTA PRESENT???!
Morning!
Staying with my parents for a couple of days. Always feels a bit strange being back in my home town as I don’t really know anyone anymore.
Going to go out for a run in a bit then going to the theatre to see this this afternoon:
Should note that I’m taking my daughter to see that, and not just going by myself!
That looks good fun.
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 morning
I’m off to bed.
What are you reading for your bookclub?
How did your train journey go? If I am rightly remembering it was you who was asking for recommendations for how to keep your daughter occupied.
Enjoy the theatre later, it looks fun. Is it your kid’s first time going, or have they been before?
No book this month actually, it is just kind of a review of the year.
Have a good sleep!
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.
Dark innit?
Also, seeing as it’s the solstice today
I laced my porridge with leftover white chocolate chips and cranberries from yesterday’s cookie baking. Would recommend 
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.
Morning. Working this morning
Off to measure up a house I’m helping decorate for a womens refuge this afternoon I don’t like to mention it though etc
Seeing the TV tonight 
gonna treat us to Tibetan for tea, then pub
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.
here’s the daily larson:
burglar alarm for the shop across the road was going off for over an hour around 4am this morning. so not the best sleep ever.

Does 8 o clock count as a lie in?
