My Xmas shopping is still only almost finished. I was doing so well too! I now have to rush around, in the middle of huge saturday shopping crowds, to get the last few things. At least I can look forward to the fact that I’ll be in Canada on Sunday. I’m visiting my Dad and family at the weekend, and leaving my car with them over Xmas (hiding the keys from Tristan!), so that’ll be a nice precursor to the festivities.
Nothing else has happened this week. The lights in my house shorted out, so I’ve been living by candlelight for a couple of days. It’s almost impossible to find an electrician this close to Xmas!

Well my Xmas shopping is almost finished, I’ve even managed to wrap some of it! Work is very busy at the moment, as I’m trying to get what I need to do for the latest release finished before I go away. Only 10 days to go now, and I’ll be in Canada! Jen is away at a conference at the moment until Sunday, so I’m taking a small break from the online world and sorting out some real life stuff. Nothing exciting, just boring stuff like car tax, accounts, and housework.

Life is back to the normal routine, which is very dull, so I’m looking forward to jetting off to Canada. The only unusual thing I did this week was a trip down to London for a meeting, but apart from a free lunch, it was a very tedious day! I went Xmas shopping on Saturday, and came back with nothing, but I have a few ideas now, so back into the fray this Saturday.
Jen won’t tell me what she wants for Xmas, so I’m currently looking at some lovely framed prints of dogs playing snooker, or a blender.
