We're shut-ins this weekend. Got the holiday of a lifetime coming up in two weeks (assuming strikes don't scupper it) so we're going into lockdown mode to avoid picking up any sort of germs and ruining everything. Two weeks might seem excessive but we're not exactly social butterflies so it's fairly easy for us, and also when I get sick I get SICK so better safe than sorry.

I am a bit sad though because there's a knitting group that only happens once a month and it's on tomorrow and I can't go. On the other hand it's also a so-called "24 Hours of Cross Stitch" weekend starting today (crafters have lots of fun events, dontchaknow?) so plans are to...um...cross stitch a lot!

New season of Futurama drops next week and my partner hasn't seen all of the existing ones so we'll be marathoning that in the background all weekend while I stitch and he plays games. Plus he's planning to cook some kind of fancy omelette. Sounds good to me!

Oh, exciting times! Where you all off to?

Big fancy cruise, basically.

Other half's dad is single and well-off and getting on in years so he decided the best thing to do with his accumulated riches is take the whole family on a big fancy blowout trip. Flights, cruise, excursions, everything paid for. There's absolutely no way we could ever afford this type of thing on our own so it's kind of a big deal.

We were originally supposed to go in 2020 but that obviously didn't pan out. And now we've had this booked for ages only for the Gatwick strikes to be announced, so starting to get a bit nervous!

Amazing - I hope you all have a cracking time!
