It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas...

On this very cold but very festive Sunday afternoon I plan to:-

• Finish off The Magus - one of my BBC Top 100 Reads
• Plan what others I'm going to read in the New Year
• See if the Learning French kit I bought from Oxfam does actually work on my PC
• And put up my Christmas tree whilst watching Elf (a tradition!)

I hope whatever you plan to do keeps you safe and happy!

Today I Grew Old

There comes a time in any girl's life, when she suddenly realises she's growing old and today was that moment. Recent temperatures in NYC of -7 degrees C to -11 degrees C, have called for desperate measures....Yes folks, I've had to finally buy my first pair of thermals, in preparation for my trip to New York! Husband didn't get off lightly either, he got his own pair. Thankfully they are not matching his and hers, that would be too freaky. In fact, I'm sure the image of me and Mr M in our thermals, is enough to freak most of my readers out, so apologies, but hey at least we will be warm!
