This Week #16

It's been a nice quiet week, recovering from the excess of Christmas. At least I did. Anthony went out Tuesday night and didn't get in until 5am the next morning! We stayed in on New Year's Eve with a takeaway, then on New Year's Day Marianna turned one. We threw her a birthday party and filled our little living room to capacity. :)

Hannah took this photo of Bracken, making her appear innocent and angelic. Don't be fooled!

☆ READING: The Career of Katherine Bush by Elinor Glyn. It was terrible.

☆ WRITING: My New Year's Resolutions.

☆ WATCHING: Only Fools and Horses. Anthony has insisted on watching it for hours at a time on UK Gold. It's good and that, but I just don't understand his need to see the same episode three times in as many weeks.

☆ LISTENING: Telltale singing about fish and squares...

☆ WEARING: False eyelashes for the first time ever! It did take the entire little tube of glue to achieve it though.

☆ EATING: Birthday cake. 

☆ MAKING: Rotas and schedules.

I took part in the Wednesday Hodgepodge linky for the first time, and salvaged some posts from an old Dreamwidth blog I had completely forgotten about. Another repost was a guide to British holidays and celebrations - expect the other posts from the series over the next few weeks.

I also launched a new competition for The Best of Jackie Annual, and drew the winner for the anti-snoring ring giveaway.
