Awake at 4am and have been reading, drinking a hot cup of tea and watching "Pick a Puppy" (show about people wanting to get a puppy so they get to visit with several breeds prior to deciding which type they want. Kinda interesting as this does feature several dog breeds which I'm finding a bit interesting).
By way of an update the gf whose son went on a tear has now had to rush off to the mainland as her elderly Mom (86) broke a hip. Surgery done however something didn't go right and the leg bone & hip came out of joint which now requires a second surgery. Lots of pain so hoping for a speedy recovery. Sometimes when (bad) luck happens it just seems to stay for a while with one thing after another happening.
My daughter's father in law is now back home from hospital on blood thinners which is hopefully working on moving the blood clot from his lungs. He is still pending urology but now nothing can be done until the clot issue is fully dealt with. The son in law has also been off-work having pulled his back. Nothing serious but serious enough to warrant he is off work for two weeks wearing a back brace. Again hoping for all to settle back to normal soon on the in-law front.
I'll have the grandkids this afternoon for a sleepover. Been thinking of activities they can do as the weather is quite iffy and it has suddenly gotten fairly cold here. The twins have taken to "publishing" book in that the oldest twin writes the stories while the younger twin illustrates. They seem to quite like doing this so might enough another book be written

Their sister always seems happy enough to play with the dolls she has here and her very first thing is to go and get the purse she has here, put on of my old non-working cell phones in it so that she is prepared for any calls that might come in. She has always been much easier to amuse than the boys who are just full of go go go energy.
