Christmas 2024

On 14th December I had surgery on my right elbow. It was planned and I had been waiting for 2 years for it. Without it I would lose the use of my hand. 
It all went well but took longer than expected and therefore recovery was longer than expected. So I spent the next 3.5 weeks over Christmas until to move or really use my high (dominate) hand. Thankfully I have an amazing family who didn't mind cutting up my food or brushing my hair for over 3 weeks. 
And I had the cutest puppies to keep my happy.





 

Time with my lovely dogs

While mom and dad were up, they got to meet Teddy and I spent a fair bit of time with Bim and Bell before Christmas.

Animals

Over the last few months I have been spending as much time as possible with friends pets. 

Sister's cat, Barney


I really want a dog but my landlord is not keen so I have joined BorrowMyDoggy and have multiple dogs I now either look after sometimes during the day or take for walks.

Bim likes his cuddles...
... and his naps

                                         

Nico is just a puppy so very active ...

... until he flakes out

Little Ellie

The back of Teddy's head.

Blurred Teddy


Another blurred teddy - the nutter is rarely still

Belle like a walk and nose about


Or telling me to stop working.

Teddy being photogenic! :)

Christmas


I did a few Christmassy things in Edinburgh but didn't take any photos. 
The trip back to the west Midlands the weekend before Christmas was a nightmare. I had every weather type (rain, snow, brilliant sunshine, hail and fog) and then broke down just north of Lancaster. My windscreen wipes died while I was int he middle lane, overtaking a lorry, in torrential rain. Of course. I managed to get to the hard shoulder. And then the battery died. Thankfully the RAC got to me within the hour and replace the battery so I was only 3 hours later than planned.

I worked right up until Christmas Eve and we headed over the Kerry and Craig's on Christmas eve to spend Christmas at theirs. 
Obviously we spend lots of time greeting and playing with Finley.


Tired him out




Christmas morning was spent opening presents and playing with Finley. It is so much fun teasing him with paper. He loves it too and very much liked all his presents. (I gave him some treatments wrapped in old socks and wrapped up. Doesn't sound like much but he loves it!)



After some breakfast we took Finley for a walk over the Chase Common. Though it seemed like he was taking us for walk given how much he ran. He is nutcase. 




The Finley blur.


I tried to get a photos but mom and Finely were too busy amusing each other. I did get Finley to look at the camera. I failed with mom. :/




Dad and Craig playing with Finley.

Finley loves water, even though it was not very warm. And he went in every chance he got.









I meant to take photos of my sisters lovely Christmas dinner but forgot and just dug in. We spend the rest of the day watching movies and napping. Exactly how every Christmas should be. 
I managed to get some more photos of Finley on Boxing day morning before we came home. After playing/fighting/throwing him around for a few hours, he was a bit tired (though it never lasts long), and being super cute so I managed to get some photos.





We haven't done much else over Christmas so far. Another walk and some admin. It has been a nice break from work.
