A very belated Happy New Year to y'all. I hope you all had a better time than we did...Based on her blog it appears Kelly certainly did! I'm really rather glad she's admitted that she'll be witholding the pretences this year and openly watching "Celebrity Big Brother". Does that mean Carole and I can admit it too?
Actually, I'll reverse that - I don't find myself particularly enthralled by it thus far so maybe (maybe) it won't gain air time in our house this year. A deciding factor could also be the Playstation 3 Ross got Carole and I for Christmas. It has proven to be a rather popular present! We've linked it up to our main TV in the living room, and as such our battle for dominance has commenced! Caroles taken to "Little Big World", while I'm addicted to "Fallout 3" (a rare event for me as I'm not really a gamer). As it's internet connectible too we can use it for all manner of applications Indeed we watched the last episode of "Survivors" (which we'd been kicking ourselves for missing) on BBC's Iplayer. It was actually quite disppointing as it's set up for another series. Part of the appeal for us was that it was only a six parter. More annoyingly however, the only version the Iplayer had included sign language at the side of the screen. To call it distracting would be an understatement - I almost switched it off in frustration.
However, we did manage to resist the temptation of the PS3 yesterday afternoon and watched "Look Who's Talking" on normal TV. Does anyone remember this movie? John Travolta, with Bruce Willis featuring as the voice of the baby. I vaguely remember watching this in the late 80's, but Carole and I sat transfixed throughout - it's the old soppy parent thing again methinks!
We were also out on Saturday night at friends for New Year drinks and nibbles. It was fun, but we hopped in a cab and headed back to mum and dads about 1130pm. I was a little drunken! My alcohol tolerance levels aren't what they once were! When we got back we were greeted with Ross playing with the puppy. I think he's taken a bit of a shine to Sima. Can't blame him, she's turning out to be a really sweet and obedient pup, though poor Isis's tail is taking aan absolute mauling from her! Isis doesn'rt mind though, I think she's really taken to her new little buddy.
Now we're into the New Year, it's time for the resolutions. Mine have already started (I'm going to be tidier and more liveable with!), while Carole's going to get fit again. Touch wood, we'll be signing her back up to Bannatynes gym. She's really missed it.
I'll post another blog tonight, including a video I took of Luca a few days ago. Not to raise levels of expectation, but it is the best Luca video ever.....
