I finally managed to finish the big C2C crochet blanket that I have been working on and I am really pleased with how it turned out. Its all washed now and packed in a pretty voile bag ready to be posted off to its new owner. I have sent her some pictures which she loved, just hope she likes it as much when she receives it. Sorry its not the best image, I just realized that I only used my phone and not the camera to photograph it.
On Friday my niece Scarlett came to stay for a girly weekend/sleepover. Part of the reason for this visit was because she wanted to come with me to my hairdressers to get her haircut. So after I collected her from the station we made our way over to Hairbase in Islington where the lovely John took great care of Scarlett and her hair. As Tom was working Friday night it was just me and S at home so we got ourselves a pizza and some treats and curled up to watch Zootropolis which neither of us had seen before.
On Saturday we paid a visit to Harrods so that Scarlett could get her nnual Christmas bear (who this year is called Bertie). After that we made our way over to Leicester Sq for the highlight of the weekend - a trip to the theatre to see Aladdin. I had heard so many good things about the show beforehand and I can honestly say it didn't disappoint in any way at all. It was amazing - the set, the costumes and the songs were all first class. The cast were all great too but Trevor Dion Nicolas who plays the Genie absolutely steals the show. If you are considering seeing a show anytime soon I highly recommend this one - it was so good that I would quite happily go and see it again. As we had lunch at Ed's Diner before the show we weren't too hungry so we just got some snacks on our way home to pick at while we watched Strictly and the film Fantastic Beasts. Scarlett made her way home Sunday morning as she had other plans for the day and for the first time she got the train home alone after I dropped her off at London Bridge station. We had a lovely few days, I really love my Scarlett sleepovers but she is growing up fast so I know that in the coming years these will start to become fewer and fewer as she begins to spend her time doing other things and enjoying the company of her friends.
I spent the rest of the day just pottering about at home and doing house stuff. I sorted out the cupboard in the spare room that was just about bursting at the seams with 'stuff' and I also did a couple of kitchen cupboards. Before long it was time to wave Tom off to work on another overtime nightshift - at least it meant a peace Sunday evening for me.
Thanks for stopping by to read, I really do appreciate each and every comment I get.
Love and hugs - Jane x
