Saturday, December 17

After our Manchester marathon of TV shows, I looked around for something different and came across From Darkness. The blurb said it was set in the Western Isles. That sounded interesting: exotic islands with names like Rhum and Eigg. Maybe the accents would be a problem but worth a look.

You wouldn't believe it - within ten minutes, she is on her way to Manchester to get involved in a twenty year old murder. Manchester again! My cousin lives near Manchester; I wonder if she realises that she lives in the crime capital of the UK.

Life is quiet as we count down to Christmas. Jamie and Nera are hosting the Filipino Christmas Party on Christmas Eve and have already started to prepare. Nera is working today and tomorrow so Jamie will be starting to cook. Part of the celebration is the Media Noche or Midnight Feast and there are lots of traditional dishes to be prepared.

This will be a big event with many kids. There will be games and people will bring tents and sleeping bags, so having the larger space will be helpful.
