I've had a quite festive period, spending Christmas Day with my parents, sister, gran and great aunt. Dogs had a great time and were spoiled rotten, lol. New Year was also quiet, but since my dad got a PlayStation 4 for Christmas, I see a few game nights in the future.

Decided on a few New Year resolutions - losing weight and trying not to take too long to update this journal :), being two of them.

Found the TV over the last couple of weeks to be quite boring, quite enjoyed a Christmas Carol Goes Wrong but found last years Peter Pan to be better. Of course Call the Midwife was tearjerking as usual and can't wait for the new season to start. Not seen the Little Women adaptation but have in on my iplayer to watch over the next few days.

Got a Nintendo 2DS for Christmas from my parents which lead me to raid my games cupboard for some of my old DS games (currently playing CSI Unsolved).

Hope you've enjoyed your Holidays and look forward to 2018 being a better year.

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.

Day Out

Today we had the Defend Dunfermline Festival which was to promote the joining of Polish and Scottish soldiers during WW2. Took my dad down to visit as he had been in the Territorial Army when I was younger and we both found it very interesting. Especially as his first uniform after he joined the TA was a WW2 era soldiers uniform.

It was nice to see the local children also getting involved and learning about the war.

I've caught up to the end of season 2 Scorpion, although Netflix UK doesn't have season 3 yet so I'll have to find it on another site or wait for the DVD coming in September, lol.

Started Christmas shopping already as I've bought my dad the combined season 1 & 2 of Lucifer as I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

Without my aunt this week as she's gone down to my uncle's house to stay for a short holiday, so hopefully I can get a bit more writing done and catch up on some chores.

Sami

My poor dog Sami has cut her paw a little, luckily it's just a scrape, but I'm putting Anti-Bacterial spray on it just in case. So she is currently being spoilt rotten and is enjoying sleeping in my room instead of her bed downstairs so that I can keep an eye on her. Doesn't seem to be bothering her much so hopefully within a week it will have healed.

Started my Christmas shopping (sort of) as I'm planning a couple of small cross stitch projects for my Aunt and Gran. I typically make them a Christmas Card or a bookmark but not decided on a pattern yet.

We're back to the lovely Scottish weather pattern of pouring rain, lol. I'm thankful in some ways as it means it's not as muggy at night.

About halfway through of Scorpion season 2 (up to episode 12) which is funny as tonight I will be watching a Christmas episode in July, lol.

Also heard about Stargate turning 20 - can't believe that it's been that many years already. Wish it was still being recorded but heard we might be getting a new series Stargate Origins so that might be worth a watch.
