Happy New Year and All That

Last few days spent mooching around home. Weather turned wet and coldish again. Tuesday we went to Avatar at the pictures – best film I’ve seen in ages. Really worthwhile. Will also make an effort to catch Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” his first major film post-Madonna (I think – or was that RocknRolla?)

Wed went for an outing to an outlet shopping centre in Belgium – about an hour away. As we drove south the temp crept up and up – it was 9-10 deg. C. there while it was only about 1 C. at home. Further up north around Utrecht it was already snowing.

Yesterday we did get some light snow

New Years eve passed again without a hitch – one high spot was Chris an I caught up with a concert by Muse late last night on TV. Only heard a bit of them on and off – but live on stage those guys really rock.

More of same weather (light snow flurries) this morning. Cleaned up (surprisingly little) remains of fireworks. Boys gaming or reading (see below) & Bri clanking around in the kitchen (off to dinner at A&E – going round there later in the afternoon. Our contribution: homemade quiche & tiramisu)
