Hello dear things, I hope you are doing well and that your Christmas plans are going smoothly. It is the shortest day of the year today [well, it is here at any rate], no wonder it is so cold! The canal froze over again, but there has been barely any snow. Pah. Ah well, tomorrow each day gets a fraction longer, and before you know it, it is
Pancake Day! I'd miss the seasons if I lived elsewhere, I like the change.
I'm going home tomorrow though, I'm not organised yet, I prefer to leave things to the last minute. Which is good, as last minute packing always seems to be a regular occurence when I travel home. I don't need to take much, so it won't be a problem ^^ I'm getting excited now *skips around* even the thought of an eight hour journey isn't putting off my anticipation of visiting my family. I hope the roads aren't too frosty...
I found myself wishing to be a student again on Sunday, Craig and myself were in Liverpool waiting to watch Avatar, and we found a fantastic cafe/tea shop named Brew ^^ They have bundles of speciality tea there, some of which I have read about on Sherr's tea review blog, yet never had the chance to try. So, we sat down on a comfy sofa, browsed through the books available to read, drank 'Christmas Tea' and decided that we could both happily spend far too much time in that place if given half a chance *smiles* It would be a perfect place to relax and catch up on some study reading if I were still at uni. Although saying that, being a student is expensive, so I most likely wouldn't have the funds to spend on fancy teas...
Oh, on that note, has anyone watched
Avatar yet? I was fortunate to watch it in all its 3D glory on Sunday *was stunned* I loved it! My friend described it as a mix of themes from
Nausicaa and
Princess Mononoke, and I think she had a fair point. To be honest I got a bit too into the story, I was practically shouting at the screen at some points, and getting all teary-eyed at others. <333 Superb film. Too pretty. I want to take my sister to see it. If you get the opportunity to see Avatar you should go! I'd advise you not to watch too many trailers though, some of them contain spoilers. I hate spoilers! ACK!
*hugs* Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, filled with good food, friends, and time for peace. I may have time for a
little[ lurking on theO before I get back next week, but i'm not sure. Take care everyone, each of you is a blessing, thank you for your friendship over this past year, and for some of you, for your friendship for the past three years!
TTFN :3
