Easing into things, a few bits of random news that occur to me from the last few weeks:
- I pretty much had December off from work, and feel equal parts ready and raring to go for getting back to work next week, along with a little bit of trepidation too!
- Since last posting, we've had confirmation that Jake will be having a two week half term in October / November again this year, and so we've booked some flights to Orlando, hence the updated countdown on the blog.
- Lots of work has taken place in the garden and we now have a new wall and path and lots of new turf, and it is possible to get between house and lodge without getting muddy.
- Christmas came and went with lots of family time, and lots of lovely presents for all. We've even managed to eat most of the food from the freezer by now.
And a couple of things from today:
- Dinner at Cote in Bluewater as a New Year treat from John and Margaret, although John did nearly walk out when he discovered that they were out of both whitebait and mussels!
- An amazing result at White Hart Lane as Spurs beat Chelsea 5-3. Spurs are up to 5th, and Chelsea manage to stay top, but have the exact same stats as Man City, so only remain above them alphabetically!
