A Different Christmas

This year, Mum and I lived under an umbrella of "different." Christmas morning, when supposed to be in church at 9:30 to ring bells, Mum and I only woke up at 9:25. Then after coming home from church, we both had stollen and juice for breakfast then had a long nap throughout the afternoon. For dinner we had a roast of beef instead of turkey, and Mum made our very own Christmas pud for dessert. On Boxing day, we had the Cliftons and Gill and Sara round for dinner and ringing of handbells. Mum and I even went so far as to buy a whole Scottish salmon and cook it in the dishwasher!!
It was interesting actually having Christmas on Christmas day. Mum and I opened presents and stockings on the 25th which is never been possible as we've always been in church all day on the 25th. It all went as well as both Mum and I could have hoped. And there were lots of leftovers to enjoy :)

Bowling!!

The second to last week of term, Ed and I decided to take a mini excursion and go bowling in Whitstable. There were different groups of obvious regulars, and not so regulars. We played two games - I won the first, and Ed wont the second. Next time we're going to try and drag the rest of our possie along and make it an evening with a bowl of chips and slushy :)

Our 2 Year Anniversary

Okay, so it's a little belated, but on the 15th of October my Eddie and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. It's a milestone in both our lives, and I'm happier everyday I'm with him. He's been there for me through thick and thin, and I'd do anything for him. As a little gift, he gave me my lovely ring :) (Which fits beautifully on my right middle finger ;P)
I Love you, Sweety!!

Dude 2

My final box was a bit more full that the last, and was my second male. The main thing that stood out was the thickness of the leg bones. Overall, the legs were the best preserved part of the skeleton, the skull wasn't in the best shape, and left arm was almost completely missing. Hopefully further research will uncover why there are some lumpy and bendy bits in places that are usually straight and smooth.

Dudette 2

This was my 4th box of bones, and after cleaning and analysis was found to be female. She was a dainty little thing, but with great teeth - the best of the group. Apart from the bones themselves looking female, there was green discolouration on the coller bones, indicating she wore a traditional Anglo-Saxon female chains around her neck area. The only worrying bit about the skeleton is the one whole side of the skull that's missing... Hopefully I'll learn more about what that might be in my investigations.
