Merry Christmas

OK, it's been weeks since my last post and although I've by no means been short on news, I've just been either too busy, not had internet connection or simply didn't know where to start, so I'm taking Xmas as the guide for writing and saying howdy!

Firstly, merry Christmas to all of you out there. I hope you've all had an awesome day and that your tummies are full and your heads slightly spinning... Shit, maybe that only happens if you spend Christmas day lunching on a wine farm.

Anyway, a quick catchup for y'all:

London - Had a great time catching up with friends. Fortunately I missed the really cold weather and snow and overall had a good time. Unfortunately the trip was somewhat marred by the fact that I had the big move on my mind and was very worried about what I was going to come back to in terms of EH making matters difficult for me.

On top of that, SD had to travel back to the Middle East for work, which in turn left me to move both my stuff out of Wisteria Lane and his stuff into the new place, which I will now refer to as Winelands Place (It really does make sense if you know the address...).

So, got back on the Monday and moved on the same day and the following day too. It was totally crazy. In between I 'celebrated' my birthday, although I have to admit it wasn't exactly the best birthday I've ever had, but could've been much worse - I could've been in Wisteria Lane...

It took me a few days to move in and settle down and get back online and then on the Friday I was mad enough to host a braai for about 24 people!! Was nice though, albeit a bit manic.

The last few days have been a bit more chilled. I've been settling into the house a bit, putting things in their place and making it a home for us.

So, the kidlets are doing well. PC is a totally different child. Basically he's his old self again. Loving, kind, sweet, funny and cheeky! He'd become so very withdrawn over the past 2-3 months that it's wonderful seeing him as the boy I know.

MM is her usual self and I'm just pleased that this whole ordeal hasn't had too major an effect on her.

As for EH, there's been a lot of dramas in the past weeks and I just can't be bothered to share all, but you can be assured that he's most certainly going to be giving me a lot more material to write about if he carries on in the same manner as he has done up until now.

Phew, now I've broken the ice again, I'll be back with regular installments of TITL as life goes on.
