CHRISTMAS 2012

It turned out to be a bit of an Orla Kiely Christmas!!

We had a lovely time, making the most of having the whole family together and playing some hilarious games. We didn't actually need to play games to have a laugh though, things just happened, one of the funniest was when Husb got stuck to a melting snowman, he was traumatised  by that snowman for days afterwards =)

(Trust me... you had to BE THERE! Very funny. I'm laughing just typing this)

Looks like a Dali exhibit now!

We had plenty of rain...

The cycle path

and we got soaked at the Chester game on Boxing Day but blimey there were FIVE goals to celebrate so that kept us warm

Chester 5 - 0 Droylsden

plus Cub had his ritual BOVRIL and I took my flask of tea!

Meanwhile the mighty SKY BLUES were battering Stevenage, Diddy's old team. He actually played for Stevenage 1988-1991, whover would have thought they would be in the same division as the City? But we won't dwell on that.....

Boxing Day saw us crown a new champion in our annual PERUDO challenge!!!

Martin-the-Bus!! HE DID IT!!! HE WON!

It took a lot of concentration and it was very nearly all too much for him...

but he got there in the end! WEYHEY!!!!!

(and I think Katy was impressed!)

We saw the film Life of Pi , which to be fair, I really enjoyed, but it was a bit odd in places and no way should Pi have survived that long...

We also saw James Bond in SKYFALL at last, wow what a quality film that was. 

This week Husb and I went to see One Man Two Guvnors in Llandudno.... what a funny, silly, hilarious, clever slapstick of a play that was - SUPERB!

After 25 years of teaching jumpy uppy downy aerobics, I have finally discovered the joys of a proper sports bra, my shock has never been so absorbed, so much so I went straight back over to the Choaks and bought 6 more of them as they were so drastically reduced in the sales.

The day we went to hit the Choaks sales we only saw ONE person we knew AND IT WAS AN OLYMPIC MEDALLIST!!!!! Beth Tweddle! (She said hello)

I now have a completely safe and functional whisk for baking, after Nem's health and safety boyf condemned the other one to the bin (whoopsie!!!) and we are still cooking in the dark as we have been for the past week, since the kitchen light has blown, but all in all...

IT WAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! Thanks to everyone who made it so!

P.S. You don't want presents when you are 92 so Edna's "present" was lunch out.
