Happy New Year
This week has been great for me at work, I was off on Monday and finished at 1:30pm yesterday, meaning that I only had two and half days at work this week which was cool. On Wednesday I wasn't in a rush to get home with Lou being at work so I decided to stay at the office afterwards and make use of the free beer keg! After leaving work we then went to a bar for a couple of hours too but as it was 'a school night' I was back home shortly after 9pm. After work the following day (NYE) we did more of the same but from midday onwards this time as work was so quiet. I was actually back home at around 5pm, slightly inebriated but my excuse was that it had already turned midnight in the UK! I then watched the Canucks game on TV, which they came back from 3-1 down to win 4-3. After that I watched the the Canadian Juniors who came back from 4-2 down against the USA to win 5-4 in a shootout.
Lou has been back on the evening shift this week which finishes at 11pm and hence it meant we didn't plan anything extravagant for new years eve. It wasn't a bad thing though, everything (no matter where you are) seems always way too busy and expensive to go out on new years eve and it's never really something we've been big on. Call us a pair of grumpy so and so's if you will but this is how we actually like it! Lou managed to get out of work a bit earlier and was home for 11:10pm which worked out well. We saw in the New Year on our balcony watching all the fireworks from the neighbourhood and being sang to "Edelweiss" via Skype from Lou's Mum which was too funny!
This morning I woke up at 9am but still felt slightly tired so I went to back to sleep - only to then wake at 1:30pm! The weather is really bad today so we're just going to stay in as most indoor places are also closed so that really limits what we can do! We wanted to both end todays post by wishing you all a Happy New Year, we hope that 2010 is a great year for all our family and friends.
