Our Christmas

Seeing as we've made no posts since September, I feel it should be our new year resolution to update our blog a bit more regularly. I'm going to use the festive season as something exciting to write about.

I was working Christmas day unfortunately, and Colin was also on call, so potentially could have spent the whole of Christmas on the phone to work. It did work out very nicely for both of us however!

I spent the morning at work wearing hilarious reindeer antlers and trying to convince my confused patient that it was infact Christmas day. My persuasive skills were not so sharp however, as he refused to believe me, or accept the present we tried to give him.
After a huge buffet lunch we continued our work in the afternoon, but at 3.30pm the charge nurse came over and said I was being set free! (I had to take a few hours holiday for it, but that was ok!!!)

Colin and his parents were on the way back from Fife, where they were visiting Dunk's parents, so they swung past the hospital to pick me up. And by 4pm we were opening presents and sipping Prosecco. Very nice!

Boxing day was our real Christmas as we thought we wouldn't have a proper one on Christmas day! Jaqi put on a real feast for us...


And we went for a lovely walk around the Braid Hills....


Then unfortunately, Dunk started to tell a really dull story about a computer...!


Happy Christmas to one and all :)
