The Saturday Update

Good morning!

What a relaxing second week to the holidays.  We spent three days with Nico's family which I always enjoy.  We caught up with everyone and helped his mum prepare dinner for thirty as all the family came round!  Being away also gave me the time to finish my latest knitting project.  I can't post about it yet as it is a Christmas present for someone who I know reads this blog regularly so I will just get that ready for a Boxing Day post!

While there, Nico also took Pete for some exercise around the garden which was fun to watch.  We discovered that he does not like rain as he brought Nico back from the walk for the first time.  As ever, it was great for us all to be away and get some fresh country air.

Since being back I've been working on another project, finished reading The Unconsoled (more on that tomorrow) and started reading A Clockwork Orange.  I now feel much better about my German since I don't understand a lot of it in English either.  I've also done some more Christmas shopping and have my first birthday present for next year - a ticket to see Michael Buble in London in July - can't wait!  

Apart from that, it's been about enjoying the quiet and preparing for games night tonight - can't wait to catch up with friends.

Next wee it is back to work and the start of my adult courses again - that should keep me busy on these crazy dark nights.
