Celebrate the Small Things 24-12-21

 

It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small things...

What am I celebrating this week?

It's the holidays!

I finished work yesterday and am off until 17 January which feels like a really, really long time away.  After not having any holidays all year, apart from the odd 4-day weekend here and there, I need this break.  And I think I've managed just the right balance between time at home to get the house in order for the new year and time away at the beach.  Not to mention time to catch all the fantastic movies that are already on or coming out in the next couple of weeks!  I'm looking forward to seeing The French Dispatch today since I'm not working and have managed to get all my Christmas shopping out of the way.  Then next week I'm planning to see both West Side Story and The House of Gucci.  And there may be time for another one or two too, depending on the weather.

I'm finally going to get the deck stained too.  The weather looks like it's going to be best Sunday and Monday, so that's my priority.  After that, my days will be spent reading, painting (weather dependent) and cleaning up the house until we head to the South Island after New Year.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate it) and enjoy time with family and friends.
