Sorry hadn't been able to post in the last month as my Aunt had a fall (nothing broken) but she needed extra care. Also, my Gran is in the hospital and will likely go into a care home (luckily one of my aunts works there).

I did, however, have a nice week away in Yorkshire. We stayed in a lovely cottage in the village of Pickering which had a wonderful big garden for Sami and Alley to play in.

Hoping to get back in the swing of things now and be able to post more often, lol.

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 been able to update in a while due to both parents being ill, so I'm running a Sick Bay of my own at the moment, lol.

Got a PS4 for my birthday so deciding what games I'd want to buy and will be my next treat for myself.

Countdown to holiday has begun, it's less than a month away, and I've still got a lot to plan before we go. Hopefully, my Uncle can take my Great-Aunt (as I'm her carer) to his house in the borders to give me a break. Otherwise, I'll have to look into getting respite care for her.

I have decided to join the Space Swap Challenge 2018, it was a last minute decision, but luckily I remembered to sign up before the deadline.

I am exhausted and looking forward to going on holiday in June; hence my countdown has started early although I have three months to go. Especially since I am so over the winter weather (it plays havoc with my sore knees).

I'm generally not a big fan of sport (apart from Rugby), but I've been watching some of the Olympics. Enjoyed watching the figure skating and hockey. Go Team GB! Lol.

My aunt started day care once a week (for 14 weeks), so it gives me some respite during the afternoon.

Haven't been able to watch much TV but did catch Everything Sucks on Netflix it was alright but still prefer Stranger Things.

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.
