I am still here, and no Op!  There is a lot of good in our NHS healthcare system in the UK and then there is some which is not good!  Mainly the organisation and booking of appointments.  I won’t go into the whole saga of it enough to say that the adminstrative staff who were supposed to book the Op didn’t and I am now trying to sort out a date which is suitable for DH and I!  Looking now like middle of February!

I forgot in all the Christmas posts about Stranger Things ending!  DH and I had been out for New Year’s Eve to friends for dinner and had a great time and did not get home until 2.00am.  Of course that was when the Stranger Things final episode dropped in the UK so by the time we got home and ready for bed, DH of course fell fast asleep but I could not resist putting the final episode on!  It was two hours long so I started it at 3.00am and finished at 5.00am! 

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET DO NOT READ ON!

What did I think of the final!  It was good although I thought some parts of it were a little too much in it, especially the soldiers and the “new” character played by Linda Hamilton.  I know why they included it but If I am honest I skipped over a lot of those bits as I did not think it added to the story at all.  I was a bit miffed with Eleven’s ending but was glad that the Duffer Brothers did do a proper ending with the characters especially the afterwards, which quite often does not happen.  I was sad that Nancy and Jonathan split up in the final episode and although I understand why I think they could have left that out. 

Finally is Eleven alive and living on her own in a far away country?  I want to believe it is so, but there are many, many questions of well how did she get there, what about money etc and I am sure they would say well Dr Sam Owens did not die and he found El and helped her get out of the country with new papers and money that was really from Papa’s estate which he left to Eleven as she was his only true success and although he subjected her to horrible tests he really did love her.  Well that’s my bit of storytelling.  

I know the whole series was only five but over ten years in the making and I am sorry it has ended.  I thought it was good and I loved seeing the character development and seeing the children grow into adults in the series and real life.  It was one of those shows where they did get the casting right.  I am now going to have to find a new show to watch which is similar to this!

So not having my Op has given me another weekend free with DH so we are out for dinner on Saturday with some friends and we have a few jobs we can get done at home which I had put off until next month.  We are still waiting for little one to arrive and Fiancée is completely fed up now, however taking after Daddy who was ten days late!!!  I will let you know when the event happens!  

You know how I said Monday was Blue Monday well today has gotten to me.  All this week has been like this, rain and grey skies and I don’t think we have seen the sun for weeks and it is depressing.  I understand how some people can suffer from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.  Trying hard not to be though!

Sunday is Burn’s Night, a celebration of Robert Burns birth on January 25th 1759 and as Fiancée is Scottish I am doing a traditional dinner of Haggis, neeps and tatties and a Scottish dessert!  Of ccourse this is planned and so Little One will arrive!!!  Hey ho!

I hope you are all having a good week.  As it is Thursday here is a #TBT picture.
