Friday night was quiet. Last week was pretty good but getting back into a 5 day working week routine has been tough. I don’t know why it was tough, it could just be that as my boss said “the office has about as much energy as an overweight, diabetic Valium drinking sloth”. He has a way with words!

Anyway I had planned Friday night to be quiet and involving nothing but me and Friday Night Pizza. Lovely.

Friday was also the beginning of the cold snap for the UK. The weather has been exceptionally mild and all that’s really happening is we are returning to the temperatures we should expect in January. However, the Met office is also predicting snow and you would think no-one in the UK has ever seen snow! This is really just a long winded excuse for my sleeping in on Saturday and not getting up until midday on Saturday!

Feeling much better for the rest, I plunged into housework, is it just me or is washing just never ending? Lis and Dwayne popped around with baby Lincoln to pick up the high chair in the cupboard (I was given it when my old neighbours moved to Australia and it was very handy for when Oli and Ms T visited but they are far too old for high chairs now and Lincoln is going to need one soon!).

There are no pictures but one of my kitchen chairs broke, the back legs just collapsed while I was sitting on it and holding Lincoln! Fortunately, no babies were harmed but we were lucky! I’m really cross with John Lewis though.

Then we went to Grace. The theme was Epiphany and gift, which being Grace involved a game of pass the parcel. My kind of church!

Sunday was cooking and then going to Ma’s to help her move the fridge from the kitchen to the living room while her kitchen is being sorted out!

That done, we headed into Kingston for lunch. Mmm burgers…

Then to the cinema to see Gangster Squad. According to it’s BBFC classification, it contains scenes of ‘bloody violence’, it’s a pretty ridiculous story and reminded me of a more violent 1950’s police show. I really enjoyed it!

Home and bed and ready to start the week tomorrow.

How was your weekend? Feeling ready for the week ahead?
