January 6th 2016

I have been gone for a few days now, I apologise, let me catch up a bit.

January 6th:
Had to set my alarm for 9am today. I didn't want to get up but we were going to Grampy's house via a quick stop on the way at Curry's for ink cartridges for our printer.

I was having a look in a couple cupboards at Grampy's finding some odd bits. For instance, there was a secret draw in the end of a fold away table, I opened it and the first thing I find is a pinecone. Yep a pinecone. Weird, must've had a meaning at some point big enough for someone to keep it. Also, in another draw I found a letter addressed to my late Nan with a date on of 1981. It was a confirmation of her buying a grave plot in the nearby cemetery. I showed the letter to my Mum and she had never heard of it. Later that evening my Mum on the phone to my aunt also had no clue what that was about. No one had heard of Nan buying a grave or wanting to be buried. We gave her a cremation.

I did a brief search online on my phone whilst at Gramp's but couldn't see anything specific. I carried on looking around the house and thought I would have a proper look on my laptop once I got home. I found a plastic 3d puzzle of an apple. I took that home to do. It was a little tricky but I got there eventually. Lastly I found an old picture of my brother in the classic Grampy's apron for his workshop outback, the backwards jacket that at some point all us grandkids probably wore.

I did have another brief look online about the grave letter on my laptop but still didn't really find anything. My brother, Dad and I were going out this evening to the cinema to see the new Star Wars. When we got there I found out we were seeing it in 3d (even better!) and when we bought the tickets it came up with 'Screen 2', this is the deluxe room in our cinema (even better still!) I got the midweek special as it was a Wednesday which was Small popcorn and a small drink for £4 something.

The film was awesome! So good. Seeing it in 3d too was pretty cool. When we came out of the screen we all did the usual of going to the loo. And one point for the ladies. I was the first out of the loo and I was the one who had to wait for the others! When they finally did make an appearance my brother ran towards me and did a karate jumpy kicky thingy. Some man behind laughed and said 'Has someone just seen Star Wars?'

We got home around 10 and I finished my night off with finishing a fizzy sweet puzzle, those pink and blue bottle shaped ones, which I had started Boxing Day 2014.
