It was a beautiful sunny day for once here in Scotland so I made the most of it by making a small hurdle for Sami to jump over. Although I'll have to make it a bit higher she seemed to enjoy it.

Countdown has begun for my holiday as it will be in about a weeks time we go down to Yorkshire for a short holiday.

Still fighting for Lucifer and Scorpion to either be renewed or picked up by another network or streaming service. #SaveLucifer and #SaveScorpion, lol.

Not only do I now have a sore throat and cough (thanks Mum and Dad, lol) but I found out that Lucifer and Scorpion amongst other shows have been cancelled.

I'm hoping that another network or something like Netflix may consider picking one or even both up but getting annoyed by the fact that they seem to cancel all the good shows.

Happy Birthday to mr_picard

Hope you have a great day :)

Scotland has been given its first Red Alert for the weather ever! Although a small part of me loved that as a Trekkie I am now so over the snow.

I think the only ones around where I live that do like the snow are kids or dogs, lol. All of the schools in Fife are cancelled, and it reminds me of when I wished for a snow day.

I don't know what it's like for my dreamwidth friends from other countries, but the snow is now almost knee deep in parts. This is the worst it's been for at least 27 years.

I guess that it gives me a chance to catchup on some shows or just Netflix and chill.

Fanfiction

Noticed that Space Swap is now open for nominations, will hopefully get round to looking at them tomorrow and adding any that I would like.

Moved on to playing Lego Jurassic World on my 2ds and it has been quite fun so far. I like the fact that once you play the game through you can go back and get any collectables you might have missed the first time around. Looking for recommendations for any non-Lego game for the 2ds as I will eventually branch out to play other games.

My Aunt may now have a place in Day Care for one day a week (have to wait 2 weeks to get a start date). Apparently, if she were more unable to care for herself, she would already be in Day Care or a Care Home. But for 96 and still be able to wash, feed herself and is somewhat still able to walk I hope that I'm like that at her age, lol.

As I'm writing this, my dog Sami is curled up beside me on the bed, and as it's the middle of the winter, she is a brilliant hot water bottle replacement. I can't wait for the warmer weather to come in as the cold plays havoc with my knees (a problem that apparently only the woman in my family seem to get) and so I'm starting to count down the days until my holiday in June.

So I'm really trying to keep my New Year resolutions, one is keeping up with this journal. I've decided that although I may not update it daily, I will try at least to do a weekly edition, lol.

Games

Right now I'm playing Lego Indiana Jones for the 2ds, and it's quite addictive. Finished the CSI game but will probably replay just to get 100% in all cases (currently, I'm in the 80% bracket so not to bad for my first attempt.)

Hoping to get back into playing Hidden Object games as I find those quite relaxing.

Films

Got Wonder Woman for Christmas on DVD so looking forward to watching that.

TV

Netflix UK released Friends so will probably binge watch that in the future. Can't wait until later this month when Call the Midwife starts again. Hoping to watch Black Mirror as well.

In other news got a nice start to the New Year as two people sent me kudos on a couple of my fics. Although I've only written for challenges so far, I may see if inspiration hits me and trying writing again soon.

Finally got a few moments to myself so thought I'd let you all know I'm still alive, lol.

Caught up on a few TV shows so I'm happy with myself :).

Scorpion - Thanks to Netflix UK I re-watched season 3 although we'll probably have to wait a long time for season 4.

Star Trek Discovery - Finding I like this a lot better than I thought I would, not sure about the first couple of episodes but by the end I was enjoying it a lot more (again thanks to Netflix). Can't wait until January for the new episodes to start.

Stranger Things - I had to binge watch season 1 first as I hadn't actually watched this show before. When season 2 came on Netflix I decided to give it a go. Loved the throwback to the 80's theme (especially since I was an 80's kid).

Not only still playing Hidden Object Games I have also gotten back into Conceptis puzzles such as Link-A-Pix and Dot to Dot.

Started my Christmas shopping early so hopefully will miss the big rush in December. So far have my Mum's, Gran's, Sister's and most of my Dad's presents. Of course I'll be spoiling Sami but will wait until December to get her presents (in case she tries to find them) lol.

Looks like I'll be going on holiday in June so that's something to look forward too. Dad booked a cottage for a week in Yorkshire (Pickering). I love Scarborough and the Yorkshire Moors since we started going on holiday there when I was a child so can't wait to see how much it's changed over the years.

So yesterday I found out that Netflix UK added Season 3 of Scorpion on its website, so I logged on only to discover they've only added up to episode 20 so no idea when they are planning on adding the other 5 (which for Waige and Quntis fans are the best episodes of season 3). Luckily I have the DVD but come on if you announce adding a season you should make sure all of the episodes are online.

Sisters birthday went OK, have a day trip to see the Kelpies at Falkirk then some shopping before having lunch at our local carvery the Sweet Chestnut.

Don't know what's happening for Halloween yet but will keep you up to date, lol.

I have just realised that I've not been posting here for a while so just checking in to let folks know I'm still here just been really busy.

I'm a carer for my elderly aunt, and I've been trying to arrange additional support for her. We've now got a lovely NHS Support Worker who is going to start taking my aunt out during the day, twice a week which will give me some free time and a chance to recharge my batteries, lol. Also hoping to get her on a waiting list for Sheltered Housing where there would be a Warden nearby in case she needs help. Moving into one would be perfect for night time as her next door neighbour is moving home and she is feeling vulnerable at the moment (although the area where she lives is quiet and the other neighbours are friendly and helpful). Also trying to get her to go to the local Social Club as she has indicated that she is feeling a bit lonely and wants to be around people her own age (she's 96).

I'm looking forward to the end of September/beginning of October as most of the shows I like to watch will be re-starting around that time. Although the summer lull has given me the chance to catch up on other shows, lol.

Sami is now fully recovered from her injury and is loving the new ball I gave her to play on the field with. Hopefully, the weather will stay mild so we can continue to go to the area as it can become like a swamp really quickly.
