Burbling away between holidays over the Xmas and New Year break today…The other guy in my team that does the same role as me has worked between holidays for the last couple of years (mainly cos he was contracting at the time…but anyways) so I agreed it was his turn for some time off.

 

Bit of a disaster on the way into work this morning…it was raining last night, then hailing, then at some point in the wee sma’ hours damn me it froze solid ! And it would appear that gritting services in East Lothian weren’t on the ball as I had a verrry tentative slippy and slidy drive to the train station…turned up late and missed the train so had to drive into town !?

 

The Minx had her first experience of Xmas which was quite good fun, but unfortunately all three of us had picked up coffs and colds a little earlier in the week meaning we were fu#ked come Xmas morning. M had been waking every few hours coughing and crying, and we were little better but there’s nothing like a good flu’ey cold and cough combined with sleep deprivation to make Xmas dinner go with a bang !? We were all in bed by 8pm on the 25th ?!?

 

Things are getting a little better though…M’s sleeping is getting back on track as her cough abates and Zo’s catching up on the zzzzz’s whereever possible.

 

Got the single nicest present ever though…a little A6-sized leather bound wallet with space for about 20 pics…"Daddy’s Boasting Book" and Zo had already put in about 7 or 8 piccies for me….there…finish on a positive note.
