I slept in until 11 am yesterday ...maybe that should be one of my new year resolutions... at the weekend sleep in really late like a teenager.
My Christmas break has been awesome.. I have so enjoyed my time out of the 'coal face'
Actually it has been a blessing that I have been off work as we have had such cold weather.. many times since I have been off my road has been a skating rink.. I thought we had seen the last of it but it is frozen over again today and we have a few snow flurries. mmm it will be fun commuting in the morning!!!
On Saturday Teen and I went on a day trip to London to meet up with my Cuz who is over from Australia. We were up at 5am and back at 9pm (that could explain the long lie the day after).
First stop was the Natural History Museum, just check out that blue sky.. it was snowing back home....
There were 3 things we needed to do whilst here.
The first one was to explore the dinosaurs bit (which was great as we were about number 30 in the queue to first step through the doors... so we had a clear go at it. As you can see by the time we left it was sooo very busy)
The second thing was to find strange things in jars
result!!Lastely we had to find this chap (yes this is 'wee' Teen & the last time we came to the NHM )
we found him.. he hasn't changed a bit
I think we may have started a tradition for as long as the polar bear is there!!
We met up with my Cuz at the British Library where there is a fabulous 19th Century photo exhibition on .... there were some beautiful pictures ... there is a taster here.
It was a great day and a great end to a lovely two week break.
The Christmas decorations are back in the loft for another 11 1/2 months and reality hits in the morning as it is back to the old 9-5... roll on Easter :-)

Your cuz can bend forward a long way ...... tee hee.
DP fact - A very good friend of ours Grandfather designed the Natural History Museum ..... ooooo, it's Grim Rita - you might have seen the occasional comment ..... and stop the Teen growing please - way too tall now .....
DP~ lol :-)
Ah yes Grim Rita... how exciting to have designed such a fabulous building .. there is something fascinating in every corner and column... wonderful
I think Teen has finally stopped growing at just short of 5ft 9'... phew!!
Quiet at the moment ain't it? Today went fine BTW ..... everyone knackered ....... *snore*
It'll be the fact everyone is getting back in to the old routines again
Glad you had a nice anniversary ... love to TG x
Not quite back into routine yet, thanks to women and stinky perfume. Been spending my time in the town of Migraine again... and wishing it was legal to shoot women who wear too much makeup and too much perfume and then go to public places and contaminate them right before I walk in.
Or is that harsh? ;-)
My decorations are still flaunting their Ukranian heritage. They will be stuffed away soon though. We did think about doing it the other day but I always feel guilty if I put them away before the 7th.
So glad you've escaped those icy roads so far though... but be careful from now on sis... driving on ice when you're not used to it is treacherous!
<3
70s that exhibition at the Library looks amazing!
Dear Frac .. if you are allergic to perfumes then that is no way harsh. it must be dreadful for you ... but maybe (and only maybe) the public execution is a wee bit illegal ... but it is okay in your head :-)
We have not escaped the icy roads they are still here and getting worse by the day .. I have no water in the kitchen and the steps to the station are a complete hazard.. apparently it will be like this for at least 2 weeks ... grump...
btw Happy Ukrainian New Year hun xx
Dear NM ~ it was fabulous .. one of those exhibitions that does the soul good :-)
Just popped in for a pedicure - shall I take my sandals off now?
DP ~ are you sure you are in the right blog?? Do I look like I 'do' feet?? But whilst you are here I do have a snowman I need building ....
