Boxing Day & Beyond

We were up quite late on Boxing Day, it's so chuffin hectic over Christmas and the pace wasn't about to slow today. We headed off to Dad's and then on to a local pub for a meal and a pint or too. The food was great and and the shots of whisky were quite nice too, bet you can't tell from the picture who was driving lol.

Back at the ranch, we were exhausted once again and struggled to stay awake for the evenings festive TV viewing.

I went back to work for the day on Wednesday while Debbie spent the day at home with Lucy, then yesterday the pace picked up yet again. We were at the opticians first thing in the morning to try out contact lenses. I've got some to try but they've had to order some special ones as I've got an astigmatism in one eye, the result is that I can't see a bloody thing close up with these I've got at the moment.

Then it was off to the hospital for Debbie's check up, everyone there from the nurse to the professor is chuffed at how well she's doing, 5 stone 4 pounds or 74 pounds in 6 months and 2 weeks!

Back then to the opticians, Debbie got a new pair of glasses and is booked back in for 'teaching' before she can have her contact lenses, I should be able to pick my new ones up at the same time.

We were hoping to go to Woburn Safari Park today for a break from the festive frolics but the awful weather has put paid to that, it's dark wild and wet out there, not ideal for tracking lions across the plains of Bedfordshire.
