Years dragging!

JollyMother. Beer inn the parish is called wobbleade. We have none of that lager chemical rubbish here, madam!

5 And again BoP wins at live Scrabble yesterday. BoPsie remains one win away from the chance if two wins on the bounce! We not mention the backgammon at the moment. Two near pitch invasions from Raffles though.

4 Breakies, BoP washed down with tea, snorkers, bacon, best smoked back, mushrooms, toast and hand fluffed scrambled eggs. Rubs Tum.

3 And look, cricket us on. Raffles, is watching from the table. Think he listens to the Yorkshire opener.

2 Day is laze day for BoP. He needs to BoPalax.

Go out, get out. Share your testimony with others.

Some pleasures for the last couple of days,

Went to the pictures with Captain Scarlet to see film about a big whale, slammed by the critics but enjoyed by Lainey and her fella.

Some frantic NYE games of Yahtzee, spaniel dog nearly swallowed dice when it rolled off table.

Opening the door at just gone midnight and letting 2015 well and truly out of our house, here's to 2016.

Long walk on NYD along Devils Dyke, muddy dogs and wellies.

Getting to the yard late afternoon and finding lovely equine pal laying down having a snooze in his stable, sat down with him and there we stayed, eight years together means trust on both sides and much love.

Last of the mince pies and brandy butter watching Sherlock.

Well I have done alot of thinking, evaluating and planning... which seems to have become something of a new year tradition for me. I have concluded that on the whole I am very lucky and happy and the changes I want to make are exactly that, things I WANT to change rather than things I need to change which in my view is a good situation to be in.... anyway enough of my ramblings.


1. My last lie in of the holidays....10.15 (lazy mare)
2. Homemade butternut squash soup bubbling away... shall freeze some later for work lunches.
3. Done some colouring in my new adult (ahem not that type) colouring book.
4. Walk the dogs if the rain ever stops, they hate the rain and being small fluffy pooches refuse to go out in the rain.
5. Looking forward to tonight... family film night, probably watch Les Mis recorded from last night.

2. Then went back to bed and went back to sleep till 10am


3. sausage and bacon sarnies for breakfast


4. popped round a friends and we had snowballs in big cocktail glasses (hic ! ) my first drink of the new year


5. leftover roast dinner Yorkshire puds and gravy for tea ... nom nom

Kittikins

1. Back home after a lovely week away in Bath/Welsh Wales! We had a holiday within a holiday within a holiday, as we ended up staying in Wales overnight

2. DD stayed up til midnight for the first time ever, she was soooo excited, but half way through watching the fireworks on Beeb1, she couldn't wait for them to finish so we could turn the light out and go to sleep, bless!

3. Feeling like I've really had a holiday from school this year - last year I was way too conscientious! Okay, so I've planned quite a bit, but haven't stressed too much about it

4. Enjoyed cooking lovely meals for us whilst away, felt good to have some mummy/daughter time on our own. We had lazy days, going out and doing stuff days and lots of giggles.

5. Loved watching Esio Trot and Billionaire Boy - good old Beeb!
