So my Christmas was pretty low key, but I think it would have been covid or no. I'm at that age where it's no longer something to get crazy-excited about, and with no young kids in the family, we just have what is basically a higher-grade Sunday lunch get-together. Only downside was that my twin sister, who lives in London, was unable to join us ( Read more... )

It's been a strange Christmas ( Read more... )

Argh, it’s a Christmas disaster! We had a gas leak this morning, which turned out to be the cooker (with a theatrical sense of timing, worthy of a festive film) gasping its last breath. We have thus been left oven-less for Christmas day ( Read more... )

Sat at home with the Christmas tree lights on and watching my favourite Christmas film, "A Christmas Carol" (the 1984 version with George C. Scott, I must point out - so atmospheric and awesomesauce! Scared me a bit as a child, which is always good. Heheh!)

Feeling quite festive and am hoping to throw together a few festive doodles today, as well as ( Read more... )

Thanks Alison, Valentina and Esther for your Xmas cards! I've only just received them but they rock! (Especially love the Walsingham in your card, Valentina! *squee*) Love you all ( Read more... )

So I ate too much... but hey, don't we all? Hope everyone had a pretty good Christmas. I got some lovely presents - clothes, *more* books to read, the quintessential perfumes and deodorants, and a sat nav! (Yay! Let's try to go somewhere random!) My sister even made me a t-shirt that says "Walsie Girl" on it! She rocks. That can come on the next ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't been around lately, guys - been busy and stressed and what-not else!

I want to send out big THANK YOUs to all you lovely people who have sent me greetings cards - forgive me if I forget to mention you, but the ones I can see from where I'm sitting now include those from dreamy_rushie, rushysgirl, dweediecat, apple4b, padawanmage and ava22! Thanks, peeps! I feel loved ( Read more... )

My internet wasn't working yesterday. It must have been out of spite because it was the last day I had to go on the virtual dog game, "Furry Paws", and breed my Belgian Shepherd bitch. Now she's too old and I can't have my last litter out of her. :( Damn it ( Read more... )

Some random photos from ma chambre (is it "ma" or "mon"? Can't remember...)

I'm so tired... maybe it wasn't a good idea to, having got home from work at 11.20pm yesterday, watch 20 minutes of Saw on Sky (like, boring...) then play on my new "G1 Jockey" game on teh Wii until half past two. Whoops. :) This game I like! It's a bit tricky and frustrating in some cases, and rather repetitive too, but I loves it! I am a virtual ( Read more... )
