After Christmas

Boxing Day we said goodbye to Auntie Jude and Craig who headed off to Durham to see Craig's Mum.  We then headed to Settle for Boxing Day lunch: jacket potatoes and many different fillings.  It was a horrible day, so we weren't tempted to go for a walk.  However, we had the kittens to feed, so we headed off after lunch to the Perkins' house to feed them.  Once again they were a bit shy and didn't come out for a play, so Matt put their food down and left them to it.

We got home, watched some telly and then decided that we really needed to get some fresh air and headed out for a quick lap of Storrs Common before heading home and eating scraps and watching more telly.

Quick afternoon walk

On 27th, Matt decided to do some work, Tom was desperate to try out his new flippers (from Auntie Jude and Craig) so we headed to Stacksteads where we met Matt and Lynne.  Tom and Matt played together whilst I did some lengths and Lynne did some running in the gym bit.  Lynne then went home whilst we remained in the pool - the boys would have stayed in the pool for the whole day given half a chance. However, Matt needed to feed the kittens again and needed the car, so we returned in time for him to do that.  Me, Matt and Tom headed to Inglesports for lunch (Matt didn't like anything we had in the house!)  By the time we got back Matt had returned with the car (confusing this isn't it with 2 x Matts). Tom and Matt played with the keyboard for a while and then we headed over to Matt's house.  Tom and Matt disappeared whilst Lynne and I chatted about not much.  It was a nice easy day and Tom got some small person time which was good, I think Christmas can get a bit too adult for him sometimes.
