Day 121.......started a new book.

Day 121.......started a new book.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

I got a new book for Christmas and I decided to give it a wee read, yesterday because I had the house all to myself in the afternoon.
Jen was babysitting from two till six and Ali went to meet a friend at Starbucks at two. They were supposed to be watching Love Actually on my laptop but, due to dodgy wifi, they ended of chatting for the best part of four hours instead.
When she headed out, I wandered down to 'No Frills' to pick up some tatties and veg, for Christmas dinner, take two. It wasn't quite as good as on Christmas day but that was perhaps something to do with the fact that I forgot to salt the tatties and the sausages weren't as crisply done. But it was still yummy.
It's very mild, here and I am a tad disappointed that the snow has been taken off the forecast for New years. Where is all the snow, folks. This time last year there was a ton of the stuff.
So, I had thought about writing but when Ali snaffled my laptop, the new book and reading took the place of writing.

My sis and I decided that we'd buy ourselves something from each other and so I gave myself the book and a box of chocolates to eat, whilst reading. I haven't opened my 'Turtles' yet but their time is coming. They are my most favourite EVER chocolates and are chewy caramel and pecan. Huge yum. I discovered them the Christmas of 1983, in Saskatoon and have never found anything as tasty, in a sweet sense although my sisters meringue comes close. So thanks, wee sis for my Christmas gift.
Jens wee kiddies were a bit under the weather which seems to be a theme around here, just now. We at 921 are refusing to join in. They are heading back to their warmer L.A. climate today.
Last evening, after our late dinner we settled into watching a movie and I left the girls to watch another episode of their Netflix favourite 'The 100' which they love but only watch when I am not being disturbed. So, that's two nights in a row so it may be their routine till Ali goes back to school on Jan 5th.
I managed to get out of bed this morning, with the alarm at seven-thirty which is better than yesterday when I fell asleep again, after doing my 'whole-body-gratitude' exercise-lol. How did that happen?
Anyhoo. Much love to all and hope you are having a lovely weekend.
