turps: (Christmas owls)
I got my first card from [personal profile] dine Thank you so much! Fun fact, Dine has been my first card received for at least ten years now. I aspire to be so organised. We also got a card from one of the neighbours already. People are putting me to shame!

James' birthday went nicely yesterday. I bought him a new coat and he was thrilled with his Airwolf t-shirt. In fact, as it's dress-down day at his work he's wearing that today.

It was nice that our Christmas dinner with Pauline, my aunt and uncle and that side of the family fell on the same day as it meant he got more birthday wishes then. Because there were 12 of us they'd split us up on to two tables, which Pauline wasn't very happy about, but there wasn't a thing they could do due to space issues. I ended up on a table with James, Corey, my brother, niece and nephew. That was good as I got to talk to my niece more, she's thirteen and looks and talks ten years older. But at least she will talk now, and even let me take a photo of her with my brother and nephew. Though I did have to promise not to put it on social media. I mean, how could I possibly know what filters to apply to make her look amazing? The only slight downside was my brother's partner didn't turn up. Her meal was paid for, so that wasn't an issue, and she's training to be a paramedic atm, which is full on so I'm sure she was exhausted. Chris did say she was ill but went on to say she's gone to the steam room at the gym to try and sort herself out. He should have just said she was sacked out on the couch, really.

Slightly dodgy photos of me, James and Corey, Corey and his gran, James and me showing off my new jingle bell earrings here.

Soon I'm heading off to Newcastle on the bus, meeting James there when he finishes work. We're going to the Christmas market, at least that's the plan. Our last Christmas market plan fell through as the weather was horrendous on Thursday, then we were going to go to the one at Sunderland yesterday, but were too early as nothing was set us. So we're two for two in terms of failing markets right now. However, we did buy train tickets to York for next week, so even if today fails too, a Christmas market will be achieved then.

Tomorrow it's my next lymphodema appointment, and then after that I have bandom big bang stories I want to read and words to write myself and at some point, I may actually get caught up with online things. Fingers crossed, anyway.
