I have had dinner with my mum once and my sister and niece once. 2/26 dinner with family. Off to a flying start.

I also got kind of invited to go camping. I'm holding my breath on that one as it would be a dream.

Happy new year everyone.  I know I'm a bit late with that one, but I'm only getting into the swing of things again.  Started back too work after Christmans break this week so I'm behind with everything still lol.

I've made my list so many times since before Christmas and swapped and changed my mind that often I feel I need to post it on here to help me decide lol.
I still don't think it's finalised but it's one I've actually started most of, so I may add to it, or I may change some depending on how I feel.

I've decided I'm going to do 20 things, 26 times this year.  Now as I say, I may add to it so that's not even definate ATM lol.  See where my mind is at right now?  I'm so undecisive I don't know what's up with me. 

Big Thanks to @DundeeDoll for helping me check off my 1st poem for the year too!!

I’d love to join but will keep it simple
if that’s okay. Last year I read 22 books, this year I’ll go for the 26, which would be the most ever for me. I like to keep a list and to rate each title with a mark out of 10. So here goes 

1. You Are Here 9/10 (easy read)

Welcome and absolutely, we all have our own 'rules'.
Wednesday evening I flew out to Emirates (work) and watched the first two of my A-Z of films.
C - Conclave - absolutely loved the book so had concerns about watching the film but good recommendations from others convinced me otherwise - great film, beautifully filmed
D - Dead of winter - hadn't heard of it but saw Emma Thompson was lead - brilliant film. loved from start to finish.
I expect to get another 2 films on the way home on Monday.
Last night was fish night at the hotel - you got your plate, loaded it up with raw fish and handed it over to the chef. So can now add O for Octopus and T for tuna to my list of proteins :-:smile: (squid, salmon, shrimp didn't count as already have s for sardines - they were however delicious - I need to check list of fruit and veg and see if I can add to that while I'm out here)
And have realised also I need to add Sharjah for S (won't add Dubai as only seeing the airport doesn't count in my rules)
