Getting In & Trying It Out!

Nobody realises that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal - Albert Camus

 Boxing Day

Welcome to my Saturday 👯

Going out for some fresh air and getting some bargains.

I was celebrating 7 years of being tea-total, with a cup of brew!

Breakfast.

We had a bit of lie-in afterwards.

Then it was time to get up!

Both kids got up.

Taking out Sexy Beast... 

Nipped into Dunelm..

Filled up Sexy Beast with bargains.

Off to see mum and dad...

I see my younger brother had dropped off a wreath↑

I had a quick chat with my parents, before heading off home.

Light lunch.

Quick read of the newspaper.

Now to abuse Disney+

Followed by:

 Belated Tea at 3.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Tea time.

Finished off some of the turkey from yesterday. 

Now to enjoy some Sewing Bee.

Once we watched that.

We had something to catch up that we had recorded early on in the month.

Hubby had put the new duvet cover on the bed I had bought earlier.

I had to wait 3 years for it to be in the sale.

Sleep Tea time.

Now to try out the new duvet cover \o/

 Christmas Day

Welcome to my Christmas Day 🎄🎅

For once we was not woken up at 6am by our kids.Being teenagers they wasn't in no rush to move out of their warm pits.

We still enjoyed in brew and warm hug..

We took down the presents.

Put them in piles.

Nice bit of salmon for breakfast↑

Our teenagers finally get up...

Open the presents!

Hubbys↑

I break in my new cup↓

Hubby goes and gets his dad.

I make sure everything gets put on for Christmas Dinner.

They are back in over an hour.

Then the talking starts.....

Stops only for Christmas Dinner.

We caught up on the 30th Anniversary of Have I Got News For You.

Cups of tea, biscuits, and trifle....

I showed my father-in-law, 6 John Wayne DVDS I picked up from a Charity Shop in Worcester a few years ago...

His eyes lit up!

Once he has watched them, he can have more western films from my late dad's collection of DVDs.

He had 4 meals from yesterday, 5 apple pies,piece of Christmas cake to take home.

I said goodbye and hopes he enjoy the food and John Wayne! 

While hubby dropped him back.

I went back to 1990....
