Drivin home for Christmas~~~
Dec. 21st, 2018 08:19 amToday is driving home day, after a busy week of tidying and seeing people down here.
Last week the Thanksmas/Friendsgiving went well, even if Lynne got a little amused by me, apparently, charging into the kitchen and taking over (which was what she'd invited me for so at least she wasn't too annoyed!). I do try not to do that, but it just kind of happens. My bakes turned out well - I did have to make the peanut butter cookies, which went down particularly quickly - so that was reassuring.
Tuesday I had a work night out in Canterbury with a few folk from the Development office, of which I seem to have become a sort of honorary member. We did a pirate themed escape room, which I was a bit unsure about but was actually really fun - we got out with 12 minutes to spare! -(and was my favourite of the available themes), then dinner, then we went along to a Ceroc dancing night (which one of the guys goes to regularly), which I was also a little concerned about, having the coordination and rhythm of a three year old, but which was also fun, despite being slightly stressful. They're doing a 6-for-3 offer for beginners, so I might actually go along after New Year if I can summon up the courage.
Wednesday and yesterday were spent desperately tidying my room to make it as acceptable as possible for when my landlady's mum is staying there over Christmas. She came down last night, and very sweetly took us out to dinner at the local Indian restaurant down the road.
So today is Kent to Glasgow, via Greenwich to pick David up.
My main concern is that the kittens will have forgotten me by the time I come back in January, but at least I will be able to catch up with the original tubmeister, Cookie, at home.
