End of Christmas holidays


Today was the last day of my Christmas holiday and bearing in mind that I have not been officially at work since Christmas eve although in reality the last few days before Christmas were very quiet and I have had some considerable time off it has gone very quickly and I've enjoyed it all and am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.

I have slowed down so much, going to bed earlier and sleeping longer, pottering around and not even doing much housework, today I have not even made the bed a shocking event for me! I cannot say I am bursting with energy following all this resting and there is something to be said for keeping busy to feel energetic but I do think it has done me good to stop working and take stock of things for a bit.

We had a lovely Christmas and although it was a lot of work for me I did enjoy seeing everyone have a good time and it did seem as if they did with lots of laughter and silly games and stuff. No one got stroppy and there did not seem to be any atmosphere well none that I could detect at any rate.

The rest of the holidays was nice with enough rest and recuperation followed by Big Sheet nights and more rest and recuperation.
Tomorrow I am supposed to be going to my bosses for a late Christmas meal but to be honest I really don't want to do that late night driving so am not sure if I will go or not. Ideally I would like to go to work tomorrow to find it has been postponed till the spring and the warmer weather.

Talking of weather we have had several really cold days and nights with temperatures plunging to below zero. So much for global warming.

Saturday we have the murder mystery and hopefully this will be fun. I am trying to find some cheap and quick recipes for canapes another reason I don't want to go out tomorrow as I shall want an early start on Saturday and have to yet get the wall paper for the sitting room.

I think I have finally chosen the style which is big and bold with browns and creams in it and should be a good contrast for the rest of the room which will be a bright cream wallpaper.

Lots to do at the weekend as following the murder mystery everything will have to be removed from sitting room for the plasterers to come early Monday morning.

No the more I think about it the more unappealling going out tomorrow night feels.
