My 'Ten things' are going to be Ten things that I have enjoyed this week.
1. Welshy
I love my Welshy, and I enjoy him very much :) This week as we start our Christmas holiday, has been lovely. We've been able to spend lots of time together doing things that we don't always have time for during term time. He's also working very hard finishing off the floor in the studio today so that we can get carpet down in the new year and start doing lots more recording and fun musical based stuff. He's also putting together a website for The Lena Smith Band because he's clever and can write in website language. He works very hard all the time and I really do appreciate and love him very much :)
Anyway, soppy stuff out of the way.....
2. LSB Christmas Dinner
On Sunday we cooked up a big lovely roast dinner for almost all of the band which was quite a feat with our 'not quite big enough' oven. We had lots of wine, Christmas crackers, Christmas music, even a wee bit of singing round the piano and generally a lovely time. I love my band!
3. Trip to Somerton
On Saturday we went up to Somerton in Somerset for the annual Welshy Christmas meet up. We had yummy food, played some pool and the quiz machine, had some drinks and a generally lovely time.
4. My bed
I really do love my bed, a lot! If it was up to me I would have 10-12 hours of sleep every night but I usually only get about 7 during term time, so one thing I absolutely love about the holidays is that I get to catch up with my sleep and I really really do. For the last 3 nights I have had 12 hours sleep, it's been wonderful.
5. LOTR Trilogy
We started watching The LOTR Trilogy extended version on our big screen. Obviously I have seen it all quite a few times before now but it never gets old, lovely little hobbits :) It also makes me feel all Christmassy because when they originally came out at the cinema 10ish years ago they were always released in December.
6. Cleaning
On Friday I gave the bathroom a proper good clean, not just your usual Toilet, Floor, Sink, Bath type thing but absolutely everything. Completely emptied the room, cleaning everything I was removing as I went as well including all the bottoms of the bottles. I gave all the tiles a good scrubbing too and pretty much cleaned every tiny little inch of it. I don't get to do it that often and when I do I find it really satisfying.
7. Baking
Because I am clearly a domestic goddess, I can't not mention baking. I very rarely bake. I think I did it last about two years ago. I do enjoy it but just never get round to it and when I do want to, I never have all the ingredients. Yesterday I decided I wanted to bake, then realised I didn't have the ingredients and couldn't be bothered to go to the shop to get them. Today I had to go to the shop anyway so I got the ingredients and made up a nice batch of chocolate buns, one batch with pink smarties in and one with cut up chomps :) mmmmm..... sticky chewy chocolatey goodness!
8. Spotify
I downloaded Spotify ages ago and never used it. I decided that I needed to make a Christmas playlist the other day so I went on Spotify to see if it worked and if I could have songs for free and since then I have used it loads to just listen to random things while I'm at my laptop.
9. McVities Baked Cheddars with Philadelphia
These are very bad for my waistline but it's Christmas so I don't care. Take two Cheddars, slather one with lots (and I mean lots) of Philadelphia, add the other one, squish them together till the Philadelphia comes out of the holes and the sides then munch, one after another until you feel sick. I had these a while ago when we were watching Stephen King's Creepshow, The one where they find a monster in a trunk under a cupboard and then the main guy tricks his annoying wife into going there so it can eat her. Ever since then, every time I eat them I have a desire to watch Creepshow.
10. The Cinema
We went to the Cinema last night to watch the new Sherlock Holmes film with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. There was nothing else on and we really wanted to go to see something so we chose that. It was actually very good and Jude Law, who I normally don't like was very good. We went to the awesome old ABC or 'Reel' Cinema instead of Vue because it's a really cool old fashioned cinema that hasn't changed, hasn't even been painted since the 80's. It used to be an old Theatre so has lovely architecture and features. Anyway, it's nice to support it and contribute towards keeping it running. I had pick n' mix which I'm still eating now.
