It has been pretty quiet here in this space. I'm still around, just extremely busy working day in, day out. In the midst of the busy routine, I'm still excited about Christmas and so over the weekend I bought some little things to put in the flat. To be Christmas ready.
Saturday was a relatively quiet day for us (whew). Somehow with such a busy work routine I have not much time for anything else and catching up on sleep is my main priority. Maybe we are getting older but both K and I just look forward to spending a quiet weekend at home these days. Maybe coz it's too cold and we shudder at the thought of leaving the apartment. That said, I still do meet up with friends (keep the social life alive) and hence arranged to meet Kine for coffee at Costa. It's been a while since we had a catch up.. on life, on her house move, on our connect group. After our meeting, I went to Waitrose to get dinner. This weekend is the big weekend of the X Factor final - I am so excited. Staying home for the past many Saturday nights, I have been glued to the TV watching the X Factor haha. For dinner, K had requested for Aglio Olio and I was supposed to get a packet of mushrooms, some smoked bacon and garlic. However I went a little overboard. Well not in the bad sense... I bought more food for next week plus some juice, plus some other knick knacks including a pot of poinsettia for some added Christmas feel at home. After paying for them and having a mini shock at the bill, I realised that I could't quite carry all of them home. So I had to call for some reinforcement aka K. I could almost see him shaking his head over the phone before he sighed and agreed to drive out to pick me. Yay!
So here it is, my pot of red poinsettia standing proudly on our dining table. Not saying it is K's favourite thing, I think he is quite relieved we are only having this during the Christmas period. Well, now that I no longer stay in a house with ample space, we are not having any Christmas tree this year :(
Counting down to Christmas!
