Five Things I’m Liking Right Now

Sex and the City reruns on The Comedy Channel – Carrie’s just met Aidan, so the big showdown when Carrie gets sprung in Big’s flat by Natasha isn’t far off! *rubs hands in glee*
My new long black boots – they’ve got big stretchy gussets down the sides so I can actually zip them all the way up = result!
Merino wool – be it in jumpers, cardigans or vests, it’s just brilliant at keeping your cockles toasty.
Fires - now we’ve got both the Kent fire (which was chock-full of starlings’ nests) and the lounge fireplace swept, those logs are burning brightly at both ends of the house at last, Ooooh, I do love a good fire…
Old Friends on Facebook – finally, after a lot of pestering my lovely long-lost UK friends Jo and Sandra joined up, and this morning I was able to watch a video clip of Sandra’s kids sliding down a snowy hill in Surrey and hear their voices for the very first time. Me loves techanolligy!

Five Things I’m Not So Keen on Right Now

The “Tut/Roll-eyes/I knoooow, Mummy” Combo – as sported by Miss 8.8 when asked or advised to do anything at the moment. Grrrrr!
Getting out of bed at 6.30am when it’s cold - just one teensy, tiny more minute? Please?
Long-lost friends in the UK – it’s great that they’re on Facebook, but I’m really, really missing them in person at the moment.
Mud - mud (and cow shite) on my car, mud on my shoes, mud on my new boots, boo-hoo!
Cold Case - this show used to be in my top five to watch list, but lately I’m very hum-diddly-ho about it. Next!
