So Hogmany is finally here and if I had been in any doubt - the party in full swing upstairs would've clued me in.
I wonder how my neighbours would take to Phil Cunningham and Ally Bain a Scottish hogmany tradition! Probably wouldn't go down well probably wouldn't be heard above their music! but hey its new years....
I was thinking of lowering my expectations rather than setting resolutions what's your resolutions this year?
happy hogmany

Day 18 Wednesday 30th December 2009
I have the cold!
When you have the cold everything seems bad, the tube takes longer, the coffee is cold, the bread is hard, the guy in front of you turns unexpectedly knocking you over with his backpack, rucksack - bag on back.... Why is it people who wear these bags on their backs on public transport do not account for their increased depth?
It reminded me of being knocked over by my hubby a few years ago when his camera bag which was wider than him was on his back, he turned quickly and I was lucky not to go over the edge, we were at the Grand Canyon at the time.
So anyways I am back home, and am looking forward to climbing under my duvet I suspect this years new year will be a quiet affair we have had a hectic month so I'll be happy to toast in the New Year with a cold n flu remedy.
Hope everyone else is well

Day 17 cont.
So we ate at Wahaca at Westfields and it was a great meal, we went for this combination which is basically a little bit of everything and it was hot hot hot, I think it helped my cold more than the cold and flu remedies I have been taking all week.
Kids had a great time too, Ethan trying everything, Corran not quite so adventurous but still willing to try some things (like the ice cream for example)
It was a good if not late night!
Highly recommended http://www.wahaca.co.uk/
goodnight

Day 16 Monday 28th December 2009
So we survived the train trip yesterday with no casualties, lost children, lost dogs, lost bears or lost minds (well almost) and after an hour of running around and jumping on the beds the kids eventually crashed last night.
Today was a chilly day and even more so given the "planned engineering works" which translates to Get the Bus! But it wasn't a bad day, lots to do to keep us busy.
But tired now and still to research local amenities and services so I'll keep you posted
love

Day 14 26th December 2009
Just getting up, enjoying that yummy stretching where you wiggle your toes!
Had a rough night, and it wasn't from over-indulging as so many folks do this time of year. we had a nice family afternoon , not too many gifts not too much food, just right - and gymnastics in my mums lounge!
time to get moving off to see auntie Steph!
love
