Hi, ho, hi, ho it's back to work we go

Holidays are over and it's back to work tomorrow.
Rainy weather has at least given me the excuse to be totally lazy and catch up on some eclectic reading: Forensic Investigator: true stories from the life of a country crime scene cop by Esther McKay which deals with horrific accidents and crimes and the effect they have on those who have to attend them.
Fat chance : my big fat gastric band adventure by Melanie Tait which is an incentive to return to better eating habits and exercise after the Christmas blow-out.
And now - John Marsden's three parts of the Ellie Chronicles following on from the Tomorrow When the War Began series.

Last night my husband and I ventured out to one of the new Greymouth theatres for the first time to see The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest which I enjoyed even more than the previous two movies in the trilogy.

Lots of off-work time, and little housework, also gave me the chance to get into my quilting room and complete the blocks for the Quiltville Christmas mystery quilt, a sample of each shown below.

Also this McKenna Ryan dolphin block which was made into a cushion for my mother-in-law

Amazing what can be accomplished when not spending hours at work. Ah to win Lotto and retire to my quilt room ........
