My daughter Emily is now at
home with us for a little bit of a second Christmas, it is great to have her
here given that we hardly see each other these days. I collected her yesterday
and we opened presents when we got back to Nottingham. When she came down in
the summer she had gone back to being talkative and a good laugh, and I had
hoped that she would be carrying that on this time around. Although she is
still talkative, unfortunately she has re-super glued her phone to her hand and
hardly put it down. This is due to her now having a boyfriend, which of course
is a natural part of being a teenager, although I refrained from asking too
many questions as I didn’t really want to know the answers.
For someone who once upon a
time used to love taking pictures of herself, Emily was reluctant to join me in
a ‘delfie’ (a selfie with my dog, they can be seen on my Facebook page, which
you are free to ‘like’ if you want to be kept informed of any work related
activity), but I eventually got her to do one.
My dad and nana came round
this afternoon for lunch and a chance to catch up with Emily, and I’m pleased
to report that she did in fact talk and join in with the conversations.
However, it was difficult to get her to watch a film without her using her
phone every five minutes. We watched The Santa Clause
(which I can’t remember watching last year) and It’s A
Wonderful Life, which I’m sure everyone watches every year. Unfortunately,
I fell asleep during It’s A Wonderful Life
so now will have to wait until next Christmas to see it again.
