dine -- first again! for the card, and message, and to frausorge for the card and very lovely message, too. You're both fabulous. Also fabulous? turlough who sent me a mini knitted sparkle deer! Which you can see here. Your message made me laugh a lot, especially as I was reading it on the day I was putting up my decorations, including blue lights *g* You can see my sparkle deer herd here. For the last few years I've been buying a new sparkle deer for Christmas, and this year it was the sequinned one on the right.
The decorations do look nice this year, and the tree is as sparkly, tacky and amazing as always. New decorations this year include the stag head and an amazing festive dinosaur that was supposed to be for the tree but I like so much it has pride of place on the mantelpiece.
When going through the boxes I was pleased to find a load of cards I must have bought in the sales, so that's going to save some money. I also found relative specific cards including one for dad, which lead to a bit of a moment. I guess those will happen for a while yet.
Other things. It was James' birthday on Tuesday. I bought him a Tassimo coffee machine and some pods, mam also got him pods, so now the kitchen is full of the things. Corey came home for the night so we all went out to dinner, and it was just a very lovely day.
On Thursday we got our new car, Jaffa, which you can see here. It's a lovely car, and best of all has independent heating on the driver and passenger sides, which is great as due to his meds James tends to run really hot and winter journeys tend to include lots of him putting down the window while I complain and crank up the heat. Also, he can actually use the window controls on this car, which is great as he needed to use a hook on the Meriva as the controls were at a bad angle for him. The only issue we have is as it's a higher car there's no way James can reach the boot to close it, so that means we'll either have to improvise with a rope or hook, or else see if there's an adaptation that could be bought and used.
I have to say here, Gleb last night? Holy hell, he looked amazing. He still seems too full of himself but I'm quite content to embrace my shallowness and gaze at length.
It was my second visit to the psychologist on Friday ( cut for wls stuff )
Storm Desmond has hit us hard these last two days. Yesterday I didn't even leave the house as the wind was so strong. Thankfully it seems to have died down a little today, which means I need to go out and sort out the garden again, starting with getting the bin back upright and all the rubbish shoved back in it.
James is at work so no visit to nanna's today, so all I plan on doing is maybe wandering up to see mam later and a lot of catching up online. Also, watch the last two eps of You Me and the Apocalypse which I've been really enjoying.
