Quite a while since a half decent blog with some personal detail, so what’s been happening? As has become a regular event since the kids were young, Xmas Day with them was on Xmas Eve. Presents handed out, pies just about cooked in the oven before everyone starved but I gave up with the mushy peas, we couldn’t wait any longer.
Xmas Day with T and her family was fairly quiet, T worked a late shift Xmas Day and the early on Boxing Day. However, between shifts we took the Xmas decorations down and replaced them with more than a scattering of 21 banners and baby photos to embarrass the birthday boy.
Before starting a Boxing Day afternoon and evening of drink, I saw my grandson Noah to give him his Xmas presents. There followed a few days retail therapy in preparation for New Years Eve. I lasted until 2am New Years Day with the last going to bed some time after 5. A New Years Day run to Freeport and back to The Shrimp for a disappointing meal, meat was OK but most of the veg was under-cooked. A good idea and none of us had to clean up afterwards but we’ll probably be trying further afield the next time we eat out.
And that’s about it. A last day in Preston looking for curtains and then it’s back to work.
