I would post a pic but the tablet won't do it, but I got a t-shirt with the front of a Capri on it.

Mostly probably a nasty credit card bill and a hangover. And naffing slippers.

Amongst other things, a DVD set of Hammer pirate movies. I'm just watching one of them with the commentary, and the writer says 'Hammer wanted to make a pirate movie, but couldn't afford a pirate ship' . Which explains a few things about the movie.

All I wanted was a nice thick wooly bobble hat to keep me warm when fishing or out on the piss. Did I get one? Did I ****. So to quote my doppelgänger, **** Santa and **** his ****ing reindeer.

Author of your own misfortunes.
I didn't get anything but 2 cards, but at least I don't have a hangover. For some reason I had to take a Dexilant to deal with a little stomach acid problem though.

If it makes you feel any better, just think of all those poor sods who unwrapped Tottenham shirts yesterday

SFA.

Xmas was pretty much cancelled. Unless you count a 450km drive on Xmas Eve to see a SIL on the verge of carking and then another 450km drive home on Xmas Day. Presents were not on the menu.

I'm looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow.

Snow Shoes! I am not very good in the snow, and dislike it generally....but it's minus 22 out right now and snowing, so I may well get some practice....when it gets a bit warmer perhaps.

You're going to wait until May?

I have an IKEA chair on the way.


I had a blue one in the UK. Don't really know why I didn't bring it.

They're the best aren't they?

I've had Roombas for years (one upstairs and one downstairs)...how did I manage without it?
