Back to Normal

I've just about gotten over my massive case of the grumps, despite the fact that I'm looking at a house that appears to have had the Belvoir Hunt view-halloo-ing through it.

All the guests have left and we're about to head off to B&Q to buy some stackable storage boxes to stick all the toys in.

We're also going to buy some noodles and make some thai turkey noodle soup with the last of our christmas turkey. Doug made a fantastic turkey pilau last night, so there's hardly any meat left on our 15 lb bird. The ham still needs finishing off, mind....

Once we've got ourselves back to normal, I'm going to start having a think about the future. Christmas/New Year is such an obstacle, but a watershed at the same time. Jacob starts playgroup on Jan 4th, so I need to decide how I'm going to play it and what I'm going to do with Sam when its just the pair of us.

I also need to have a couple of goals or objectives for the New Year - apart from the usual drink less/lose weight resolutions that fall by the wayside come mid-Jan - something of my own that I can look upon as an achievement when its finished. I might start drawing again, or even knitting & tapestry again, if my CTS will allow it. Or I might have a pop at writing.

So, onwards. Objectives, goals, resolution. And a tidy house. And maybe a smaller bottom.
