In Between Days

Wednesday.

New Year's Eve.

A relaxed end to the year. Kev did the washing the day before, which meant not having to get up so early. He did us a full roast lamb dinner again and we had a bottle of Zerosecco. 

In the afternoon we watched Now you see me 2. Quite an old movie now, but one we hadn't seen, having seen the first, and this one passed us by. Not a bad movie. Wouldn't rave about it but wouldn't slag it off either. 

We then settled down to a "picky" tea, and I read, while Kev played games on his phone and Xbox. This gave us chance for a nap too, so that we stood more chance to stay up to see the New Year in. Which we did. Last year the fireworks woke us up, so we thought if you can't beat them, join them. So we sat with Zerosecco and juice in our glasses to toast the start of 2026. We eventually went to bed at 12.30...

Thursday.

New Year's Day.

We had been invited to Ian's Mum's Dorothy, for the day. So Ian picked us up at 11 am and we went for the day to Bingham. 

We had lunch, a beautifully cooked Roast, and in the afternoon we played "Sorry" and I'd taken a snowman pass the parcel along which was a good laugh, if a little basic. However I am considering making my own version to take to Sue's, and another if we get invited to Dorothy's again, if she'll have us. It was really nice to do something on New Year's Day for a change. Back to the pass the parcel thing,  more fun than crackers, and I could put in decent gifts ( so long as we add a bull dog clip in for Lauren  ( lol, long story, but whenever she gets a cracker pull she ends up with a bull dog clip!) 

We had a lovely "picky" tea again, and still being full from lunch, I really couldn't do it justice, but I did try. 

Ian bought us home, dropping Charlotte off with us, so that she could watch the start of the new Traitors series. Looking good so far, with the added twist this time of a secret Traitor, that even the public don't know who it is, so we get the chance to identify who that is! 

The new series of The Night Manager started as well, but we are going to wait to watch it all after its been on. 

So that's all for this festive season, I must admit it's been fun not having to go to work in the run up or the in-between weekend, but I can see how you can lose track of the days, as they call it "Twixmas"

Happy 2026 everyone...
