How is it 2018 already? We hope you had a jolly festive season and aren’t too down in the dumps about getting back to work. Here’s what we did in December:

WHAT I HAVE READ

December is such a busy month that there wasn’t much time for reading. I got some books for Christmas so I will have to make more time for reading this month!

• Dear Santa – Rod Campbell
• Dirty Gertie Mackintosh – Dick King-Smith

I’ve got two on the go also:

• A Wind in the Door (A Wrinkle in Time #2) – Madeleine L’Engle (audiobook)
• The Faith Trials – Buffy TV Tie-in

WHAT FIONA HAS WATCHED

• Hollyoaks (so no surprise there!)
• More ER
• We finished Stranger Things
• The Call the Midwife Christmas special

WHAT FIONA HAS DONE

• The usual routine of rhyme time and baby groups, plus some Christmas parties for Brodie
• Managed to wrap all my presents in good time
• Celebrated my birthday
• Did NOT stay up for the bells at midnight for the new year!
• Watched Brodie learn to roll onto his side, grab his feet and get up to even more mischief

WHAT STEF HAS READ

I didn’t actually get much reading done in December, it was fairly busy one way and another. So we’re going to start afresh from Janurary’s round up! Haha

WHAT STEF HAS WATCHED

I watched:

• various Top Gear episodes
• A few episodes of the Grand Tour
• Mock the Week
• QIXL
• Iron Man 2, Thor the Dark World, Captain America Civil War, Avengers Age of Ultron (me and my boyfriend went on a Marvel movie marathon!)

WHAT STEF HAS DONE

Well, I have managed this month to do my Christmas shopping, wrapping, break a lamp shade at a Christmas party and damage my knee! I’m now waiting on an appointment to see an orthopaedic surgeon. Oh the joy! Just what I didn’t want from 2018, but it looks like I got it!
