Saturday snippets 14 December 2013

{Reading} Starborn. The final book in the Flaxfield quartet. A little sad at how it Finished.

{Watching} The Mask. Suitably silly and funny for #familyfilmnight. Thanks to talktalk for our Sky Movies boost for review. Now that we’ve finally figured out how it works we’re very happy with it.

{Eating} pizza. Yes, on Saturday. Presumably I’m going to spend next week not sure of what day it is, like I spent this week after we had pizza on Sunday.

{Waiting} for children to get better. The youngest two have been really under the weather with a nasty cough and cold. Touch wood I think Tigerboy is shaking it off now and I’m hoping Smallest will start to tomorrow, she seemed to start with it a little after him too.

{Pretending} it isn’t really Christmas soon. I’m not ready. I’m never ready. I don’t really know how to be ready. Hohum.

{Snapshots} Big has almost completed her first wordpress build with theme customisation, she’s just waiting for final details from her client (me).
