Two days till Christmas

Well it has been another roller coaster of weeks this week and last. Last week daughter started off with a sore throat going into Sunday and Monday, missing Tuesday and going to the clinic. Wednesday she started off to stay home but decided she did not want to miss Christmas lunch at school so she went late. We went to the clinic again Thursday as she looked to have pink eye. Sure enough she did have it yay, lucky her she got to miss the last two days of school. The next few days merely found us mostly hanging at the house as partner was worried she may have pink eye too.

Sunday we were invited to the house of one of the University's bus drivers. We took our first trip to Feltham, not much there. The outing was mostly nice, the driver and his wife had a little cold food spread, they even had gifts for us, which was unnecessary but nice. Daughter even got to meet three dogs, some rabbits and guinea pigs and at least one parrot.

Monday we went to London for a Christmas market on the south bank near the London Eye. It was not as big as I expected but, it was nice, not to cold and not to many people. Daughter got some very cute hand made dolls with her X-mas money and we all had some nice handmade food.

Tuesday we went to Staines to see Madagascar 2. I liked it and daughter enjoyed it, not as good as the first but definitly a good escape. We also went out to eat at a resteraunt called Spur, which was kind of cowboy/ Native American/ Mexican themed. It was good although a bit pricey. We then checked out The Entertainer, a little toy shop, daughter got some quality markers and another stuffed kitty and I got a Transformer. We went to Orang (phone company) and figured out the issue we were having with my phone. Finally we got daughter a few more pairs of tights and came home.

We will likely spend the next couple of days recovering, that and nothing runs either X-mas or Boxing day here. Well that is it for now, Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah (sp?) and Festivus to everyone.
