turpsI woke up far too early this morning. 5am and I just couldn't get back to sleep. So much woe.
Still, it means I've had breakfast and can hang online a bit before a busy day.
Since last I posted we took nanna out for the day. Usually we go to the Metrocentre so she can see the decorations, but this year she wanted to go to a specific shop on a retail park. I suspect she was worried about the amount of walking at the Metrocentre, which is understandable as she lost a lot of confidence when she fell in the cemetery and had to lie there next to grandad's grave until someone finally walked by and could help her up. We still had a nice day, though. We checked out the shop, had a coffee, and as she likes to hold my hand as we walk, I did a lot of shuffling as she went through gaps in displays that were fine for a small old lady and not so much for me.
After that we went to our usual beach front restaurant and had dinner, which was lovely too, I always like chilling out watching the ocean with nanna and James. I got a picture of them which is here.
It's James' birthday today, a big significant one. We did have plans to go out for dinner with his family and mine but a few days back his mam was admitted to hospital and even when she does get out she'll have to stay home and rest with nurses visits for a while, so those plans have been knocked on the head. We'll still be going out tonight with mam, Kayleigh and Corey, though. So that's something to look forward to.
Last week I also went to the weight loss surgery seminar, so getting through the hoops for that is going to be happening all through next year.
Amazon keep sending me Laurell K Hamilton emails, because they know I'm weak and Christmas isn't Christmas without the urge to throw the latest Anita Blake book across the room. But just the title of this one makes me twitch 'Beauty (An Anita Blake Sexy Outtake eSpecial)…' I mean, what? A sexy outtake especial. Knowing how much sex is in the actual books I can't imagine how she's added more sex. Maybe Micha's dick is described 199 times instead of 150. Or Anita takes it up a level and uses one of those stuffed penguins as a sex toy. Who knows, but my mind boggles.
We always put up our Christmas decorations on the 1st, but sadly I don't think we're going to have time today. But I am going to put up my card post very soon, I wanted to get it up much earlier than this but as always time got away from me.
And I think that's it. I'm off to see what you guys have been up to, now.

I am similarly stumped by the Sexy Outtake eSpecial. Maybe it means the sex is sexy, as opposed to... dull and vaguely offputting? (Maybe that was just me.)

Not you at all. LKH can't write a good sex scene, they drag on forever, tend to be overly complicated and are just annoying.

Tell James a belated happy birthday! from me. Too bad your plans got derailed like that. I hope you'd a nice dinner anyway.
ALL the good luck with the weight loss program!
Time always seems to get away from you this time of the year. I can't believe it's already December. It feels like just a couple of weeks since it was October!

Sadly though we never got out to dinner :(
Thank you.
Time is flying by. But I do have my cards written. Now to get them actually posted.
