Dinners over

Hope everyone is having a great day! Dinners over and I'm sitting with Betsy on my lap reading a book on my new toy. Yep! Santa left me a Kindle!!!! It's our first Christmas day on our own since we married in 1978(yes I was a child bride, cough). The reason we're on our own is Dave's Dad decided not to come to us this year as our chairs are too low and he was worried about sleeping in a strange bed. The problem started a week ago he had a fall when he was staying with his other son, he was put on the train and sent home, ever since he's been suffering with his back. So we're doing meals on wheels, the problem being he doesn't live around the corner it's almost a 40 mile round trip, I hope wasn't expecting hot gravy....... I'm sure everything will work out fine it just means that Dave is trekking back and forth, and we may have to have a few Chinese take aways in the new year as our stock of plastic dishes are disappearing fast.I don't blame him for staying at home there is no place like home when your not 100%. Tomorrow James and Becky are here with us for the day, so that will be good,Rachel is having an interesting time in Australia but more on that in the next post.Best get back to my reading and probably time for a g&t.....

  1. Sorry to hear about Dave's dad. They sell plastic take away dishes in £land.

  2. Thanks Diane, Dave's dad is feeling better today and has physio booked for this week! The dishes from Lakeland are a great idea, but then I don't get a take away! x

  3. I got a KIndle as well. Am just about to read my first book. I like the dictionary that's on there. I wonder how long the batteries last.

  4. Think it must be kindlemas this year. If I ever stop feeding the open mouths I might even get a chance to look at it- still it will be great for the commuting next week.
    Hope you had a nice time (Boxing Day). Cinderella was very good - oh no it wasn't, Oh yes it was.

  5. I got a Kindle too! I've put a couple of books on it but haven't started reading yet as I'm still in the middle of a real book. Glad you had a good Christmas (despite the tooing and froing.)
