Four Sleeps!

[turps]

The party went well on Saturday. We went early, were the first there in fact, so grabbed a prime spot near the door which was good as it got really packed. We sat with my brother and his partner and talked to various relatives as much as possible. Which wasn't much with all the people and the loud music. We left pretty soon after the buffet and went back to my brother's for a while, where I looked through catalogues with Kelly and talked baby stuff.

The only problem was mam. I knew there was going to be hassle when I phoned her at 1 to remind her I was leaving the dog at hers. She was at one of her friend's houses and was already well on the way to being drunk which wasn't a good sign at all. Sure enough she did her usual act later and long story short isn't talking to any of us and is in front of the committee at the pub again, where hopefully this time she'll get banned. It was Kayleigh that had to report her too, not that she had much choice in the matter. So yeah, the party was good and mam was her usual idiotic self which sums up Saturday nicely.

Yesterday we visited nanna then James and Corey went to Edinburgh with the BiL. He's a National Express coach driver so they joined him for a trip where all they saw of Edinburgh was the bus depot and a chip shop where they went for tea *g* Corey loved it though and is full of awe for how the bus toilets were emptied and how much petrol it takes. I stayed at home and watched ten back to back some House episodes and of course Numb3rs. I can't believe it took me so long to discover House and have developed quite the crush on Billy Kennedy Dr Chase. As for Numb3rs, I have . I enjoyed the episode, but not as much as I expected to. Maybe it was too much expectation after waiting so long and I'm not saying I disliked it at all, it's just not the best episode I've seen. For one thing they seemed to be pushing the het, I like Amita and that blond lawyer didn't bother me, except I watch to see the hot cesty love the interaction between Don and Charlie and that was lacking a little. I'm hoping it's because they had to introduce the new characters and things will get back to normal soon. Talking of which, the new woman. She's got the weirdest mouth and her voice. I spent most of her first scenes just listening to her voice because it sounds wrong somehow, and she never stops smiling, what the heck is up with that? Saying that I think I like her, even though she seems to have become friends with Charlie very quickly. I mean, she could have been there for a while, I'm not sure. But she was very accepting of his position on the team and the methods he uses. I'm reserving judgement on the new guy for now, I'll give him a few weeks to see if he annoys me or not.

Today James took the SiL to the hospital for a scan as her baby is due this week. Just after he dropped her off he got a call to go back as Keira, my niece, was ill and needed to go to the hospital. It seems she has a chest infection and has been admitted, which is the last thing the SiL needs right now. I think we'll be going visiting when James gets home from work and hopefully she'll be a little better then.

Last thing. Does anyone remember what the Firefox extension thing was that saved your tabs if your browser crashes? I lost it when I updated and I miss it a lot. Also, for anyone that speaks German, is Ich liebe Dich the right way to say I love you?

I feel the way with Numb3rs too. I don't enjoy it as much as I did with S1. It's changed too much for me. And the thing between Don and the blond? Can they be more obvious? I wonder if the producers knew about the Don/Charlie slash so they want to kill it by shoving a "love interest" to Don:-/

Yeah, that's how I'm feeling now. I miss Terri and introducing the love interest for Don did feel very in your face. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they knew about the slash and she was the result. But that's okay, the slashers will just work round her too ;)

I'm still looking forward to seeing the next episode, hopefully things will feel more familiar then, especially if there's lots of Don/Charlie interaction.
