Well, we had a lovely and quiet Christmas (mine was mostly spent working) - but had a really nice time all the same. Mark spoilt me with an Ipod Touch for Christmas (I never used to be a gadget girl - perhaps its something you develop in your mid-thirties?!), and I got lots of lovely bits and bobs from my family and friends. Really nice... Xmas day went quite well considering - I cooked a rather decent Christmas Lunch for MArk and I, and Christmas Eve in Haslingfield was not *too* distressing - in fact the church service was really rather nice, and very Christmassy.
The New Year was also nice and quiet. We went to my Sister's place, and sat in with her and the boys and Mum and Dad. I cooked a delicious (even though I say so myself) beef stew, consisting of beef, onions, garlic, guinness, port, carrots and pickled walnuts. I cooked more than enough for a small army, and by 9:30 we were all almost asleep - heh. We really know how to party! We did make it to midnight (just) - and set off lots of party poppers, much to Henry's delight. New Year's Day was spent walking along the seafront, and eating a delicious roast that Mum cooked. Lovely...
We are back to full capacity at work, and I am trying to push myself into doing some light exercising to start the new year... although that is not as easy as it sounds ;-) I simply cannot be bothered! Am feeling more drawn to my bed than ever ;-)
Anyway... Happy New Year to all my friends and family (especially those of you in foreign climes). Lets make 2009 a year to remember for all the right reasons.
Lots of love and kisses
Hayls
