We had Christmas on Wednesday. Which was new years day for you muggles. Stockings, bucks fizz, turkey dinner, crackers and Christmas movies. It was lovely. And it snowed! White Christmas for us.
I forgot to cook the pigs in blankets and the stuffing! I forgot again the next day for fake boxing day lunch of turkey and chips!
As Mark is always complaining of being too hot in bed Santa got him a duel duvet. 3.5 tog for him, with 10.5 tog for me. On the first night I was too hot in bed lol. Mark was fine. Prior to this duvet we had a wool blanket as our duvet. Bought it in Lanzarote with the mattress, as you do? You do buy mattresses on holiday don't you? I folded it and this is what happened to my trousers lol. - see photo.
We had a lovely boxing day walk, in the snow, on Thursday. Bella met up with her brother Bruster and they had a great time. Mark had been given a ball gun - think machine gun for tennis balls. Not sure who liked it more - Mark or Bella.
So I've been looking at 2024 and trying to decifer what has made me feel happy. It's been a crazy year, with something on every month. I won't bore you with details but we did have a lovely year. But it's more than leaving home that makes me happy. I suspect 2025 will be somewhat more of the same. I love getting out and about even around the UK. I've have a great year at work and hopefully that will continue. I've also read some great books, next year I hope to read more. In my snug chair and blanket.. I want more candles, more cushions and more relaxing. Bring it on, life is short.
I've put on 1lb over Christmas but this still makes me lighter than normal. I had to buy new work trousers - size 12! This made me happier than you can imagine. I love it so much.
Wishing you everything you hope for in 2025!
Happy new year. Live for today. Hope for tomorrow xx
