Hi all
I hope all is well.
I recently spent the
evening at the Bluewater’s Christmas winter wonderland. Much to my sons delight
they had miniature golf, Santa’s grotto and the dreaded ice skating amongst
other great activities, games and stalls. I was under the idea that I was an avid
skater in my younger years, boy was I WRONG!
It was hilarious watching my partner and children wiz around the rink,
fall even ( I know I’m terrible to laugh, especially at my own!) but not as fun
to land directly on my bum. Oh and the pain, my feet hurt like crazy. I don’t
remember the skates being that painful. After a tentative seven minutes on the
ice I safely and pain freely sat on the sides enjoying the scene. I can safely
say I will not being skating anytime soon.
University is good. Lectures have been gearing towards
assignment support and exam revision classes. I have found them very useful.
Still a few weeks away from Christmas and I have still yet
to put up the Christmas tree, god help me! My sons will not let it rest and I
don’t expect them to either. I remember being an excited child at this time of
the year. Gosh my brothers, cousins and I were awful…..opening corners of
presents n cello tapping them back up (you know we all done it) the suspense
killed us. I remember as a child finding my dad on the sofa on Christmas
morning annually. As kids we were told he was there protecting the presents
under the tree from burglars, this went on for years and us as kids we
innocently believed this story. It was only two years ago when reminiscing
about Christmas as a child with my brother we rationalised that in actual fact
my dad was watching the turkey or/and other meats cooking overnight in the oven
in preparation for Christmas dinner!!! (More fool us!) So I can completely
understand the constant nagging from my boys. I am not a kill joy; I understand
the magic and excitement of children at Christmas. I plan to put it up as soon
as the week is over and the blessed weekend arrives.
Be good guys, if you can’t be good then be safe, drinking
and driving over the holidays and in general can kill.
Deuces.
