Monday 26-12-2016 – It's the Annual Boxing Day Bonanza!

CWS, I’m sorry for your loss of your Mum. And if you feel the need to talk, this is the place. You will not be upsetting anyone. We understand.

Very quiet in Café. I do see loads of boxes, some of them moving slightly, some of them with purzz emanating from within. Dare I investigate?

Weather peeps describing all the n’hoods as “treacherous” with “hundreds” of accidents. 🙁 warnings to all (esp drivers) to stay in. Flights cancelled too. Someone I know left yest for Italy/Israel, good that it was not today.

Now if (as promised) temps rise by tomorrow should be OK. I dread this weather as skating is not for me. 😮 My cleated boots might very well be called into service.

That, and leaving a bit earlier for what is almost guaranteed to be way boring spin class (sub.) Same deal yest, but a workout nonetheless. DIY today was awesome. Plus fave Wed nite instructor subs Thurs a.m. 🙂

Prob good that I caught up on cooking/storing. As what with hols might get slight onslaught of translations for project, the paying one.

And did some knitting while watching PBS “Call the Midwife” special which I cried through. Very moving, love the series. Nurse/nursing sisters in one of London’s poorest n’hoods in the 50s-60s. Special saw staff going to rural South Africa to help save a clinic. Apartheid laws in full force. 👿 But things worked out somehow.

Plus going to bed at 5 a.m. was not in my best interests. Excuse was that I was rewinding yarn ball that was rife with knots. Took over 4 hrs. Early night planned (which I keep saying.)

I’m most willing to listen CWS.

PG, after you mentioned “The Man in the High Castle” I looked it up. Not having Netflix or any equivalents I will have to go the old-fashioned route as in reading the book. Other peeps seem to have same idea as most copies out in n’hood library. ‘Cept one, which I reserved. Topic might be a bit intense for me as wondering what happened to “H’s’ plan to “rid the world” of all “undesirables.” I need not say more ‘cept putting my fist through my wall would not be a plan.

I am also reading my way through all the books that I can find by Brit mystery writer Sophie Hannah. Awesome psych thrillers, sorta along lines of Hitchcock. 2 books were turned into Brit TV series and amazing how lead actors look exactly as describe. I tend to mentally”cast” any books that I read with actors. Don’t think that I’m the only purrson who does this.

Strange, we had boiler prob at gym too. As in fire! And peeps complaining that pool has been chillingly frigid of late.
