Short but oh, so sweet

rosa_heartlilyThis time last year, I took Husband for a blood test, prepped for the following week at work, trying out Bee Simulator, and getting ready to finish Veilguard.
Today started with crumpets and real coffee as is tradition. The rest of the morning was spent cleaning and having a bath. Oh, and popping round to the shop for sellotape because goodness only knows what's happened to the rolls we already had in! But I did have a chat with the lad that works there about different tastes in gaming. He's all about online FPS games but it does mean he's connected with his cousins on both sides of the pond.
Not long after dinner my parents arrived, swiftly followed by Sil with Younger Grandson and Granddaughter <3 YG opened his presents and blew out his three candles. GD hovered around grabbing hold of anything he dropped :D He definitely liked Zurg, Jessie and Bullseye. I was very glad I'd snipped off most of the bits of wire and elastic before wrapping them. And the little ones sat very quietly whilst eating their cake! There really is a first time for everything.
I think they were only here for 90 minutes or so when Sil reappeared to take them home. But it was lovely to see them, and they were both in a very good mood with us and each other.
When they'd gone we watched Traitors: Ireland and then had tea. Then I cleaned the kitchen and came upstairs whilst the boys watched the match. Liverpool managed a win!
And I managed to finish Ghost of Yotei. What. A. Game! So beautiful and such a moving story. I cannot say enough good things about it. When the credits had rolled (which included a mention of Playstation, Liverpool!), I checked the trophies and there are two I'll never get in a million years, so I'm not going to worry about the Plat. There are some that are doable and would give me a reason to stay in Ezo, and no other games are really pulling at me.
I finished the night by prepping my paper journal for the coming week and watching the first episode of Seven Dials.
