turpsIn the last week. We had tickets to go to the latest Screen Unseen -- the cinema showing where you don't know what you're seeing, just get discounted tickets for an upcoming movie and hope for the best. It turned out to be The Shape of Water. Coming out I told James it was one of the strangest films I'd seen, and still think that. I mean, I liked it, but weird was the word.
We went to Dog and Scone, the dog cafe in Newcastle. You may remember it's next door to Mog on the Tyne, the cat cafe we love going to, and man, it felt strange to walk past to the dog cafe. But, we both enjoyed the dogs and the food was good, so we'll go back. But probably more often to Mog, mainly because we know and like the staff there. Some photos here and here. If you click on the links the first one has multiple pics, just click the arrows at the side.
James had his six monthly appointment with his hand specialist. It's usually just to make sure things are going okay, but this time he checked out his broken finger. Apparently if would have been a much more serious break for anyone with 'normal' hands, but as James' fingers on that side are messed-up anyway, it hasn't had so much of an impact, and may have actually done some good and lengthened a tendon that may have needed surgically releasing again in the future. So he's back to see the consultant again in four weeks, and is there to see the back specialist for a follow up on Thursday. All in the same place. Really, at this point we should reserve chairs in orthopaedics. The consultant also said I was looking good, and hey, I'll take that compliment.
I've boxed up loads of clothes that don't fit now. There's so many, and that doesn't include stuff that's too big but doesn't look stupid when I wear it. I'm not complaining, because it's for the best of reasons, but omg, so much money represented in that box. I said it at the time, and should have listened to myself, but it was a bad decision buying expensive stuff when I'm still dropping sizes, because some of those items are still pretty much perfect. At some point I'll list on gumtree or ebay and try and make some money back.
We had good news about my MiL. Before Christmas she got some health concerns that led to her being sent for immediate tests due to cancer fears. She got the results back this week and while she has issues, it's not cancer or anything life threatening. So that's a huge relief.
We had heavy snow earlier this week, it had just started to melt then it's started snowing again two days ago. I mean, come on weather. I don't mind snow itself, but really dislike the icy stage after.
After a break for Christmas I'm back at the gym again. Today we were going to go swimming, had my bag packed and everything, just waiting for James to get up too. And he's came down with something. So, swimming is a no go and he's fast asleep on the couch. So I'm off for a walk and a wander via Lidl. Maybe today is the day they've got the 99p cherries. They've been sold out every other time I've been in.

It's difficult to be sensible when it comes to pretty clothes. I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll manage to sell at least some of them.
That's good news about your MiL.
Our weather has now turned warm and rainy so all the beautiful snow will soon be just a memory. And then it's supposed to get colder again next week. I hate when the weather is all up and down like this!

Did you end up getting any cherries?
