Some highlights of Christmas - got some awesome gifts (a years couples membership to the National Trust, a new Regatta coat, some good walking shoes, welly boot socks, a smart coat for going out, two hampers, some books about wildlife and knitting, a DVD, a "Make your own owl doorstop kit", wine, a reminder list, sweets and chocolates, a board game called Settlers of Catan, a lovely big cardigan, bottle of baileys, some cookie cutters, a head massager, a Dove set, some piano music, an Amazon Kindle voucher... it goes on!)
As you can tell, despite the fact that there was only the three of us (humans, that is, not to exclude the two dogs, and the cat who also got presents) the tree was positively heaving underneath with the weight of presents!
Matt enjoyed opening his presents, as did I!!! :)
This week, then, we hope to go for a country walk (thanks to the National Trust App) which is already mapped out etc to start to use our membership. Once we've tested out how it all works, we'll be off! (hopefully) I am pretty excited as it's what we've been talking about doing for a while, and is certainly right up my street in terms of things I like to do. It'll be nice to do something that doesnt revolve around food, booze or gyms.
When I'm feeling braver and there's a little more light, I will be sorting out the horse riding too!
What else to tell you? I've been playing Syberia (point and click game) today - it is SO frustrating when you have no patience whatsoever. I will have to learn a bit!!
Matt has been playing Far Cry 3 continuously for some time, and finally finished it today. Unfortunately, he is now on to something with Zombies. I will be having nightmares again no doubt!
I've also started the post Christmas chores - lots of cleaning to be done. I used the turkey to make a nice stock and a turkey soup which we had for dinner earlier. Yum!! All gone now though :(
Might be time to try fodmap diet again - my IBS is back with avengence, as is usual whenever I eat things I shouldnt. Sigh.
Anyway, it is late and Matt has work tomorrow (tee hee, I dont!!) so I shall be disappearing shortly.
