Seasonal celebrations
Saturday night C had her traditional New Years Party. Ages ago she and her other half arranged to go to Portugal for the New Year, then she found out she had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It completely changed her view on where she wanted to be this New Year, but in-laws were expecting her so the arrangement remained. C has become more and more unhappy about not doing the same as usual, she is sure this will not be her last New Year, most of the time, but then other times she is not so optimistic. Hence all of us bringing forward our revelries. A good time was had by all.
The Christmas tree has been up 2 days now, and so far the kittens are paying it little attention. I have put all the non-breakable, non-sentimental ornaments on the bottom though, just in case.
So, the Beeb have shelved the digital head, and what have we instead? Lots of small children walking up and round a giant Christmas tree, no guard rails, no safety netting, how did they get that one past Health and Safety? I sit there mesmerised, waiting for the first one to fall off.
Today I shall finish the Christmas shopping - haha. I can always dream though.

(20.12.05 14:22) MJ- No (thank heavens). She's my closest friend. |

(20.12.05 21:08) The Beeb are just saving the next episode of true horror for the hour after Christmas dinner has filled every last corner of your digestive system and is threatening to poke out of your tear ducts....you have been warned. |

(21.12.05 08:05) hahaha i sat wondering the same, or was it a CGG |
|
(21.12.05 10:15) Princess - Whats a CGG? Ian - Oh no, not another episode of Little Britain. I'm in a huge minority, I can't stand that programme. |

(22.12.05 20:01) The biggest mistake they made this time round was the woman urinating in the supermarket - not funny, vile and purile. I switched over and I'll not bother watching these one trick ponys any more. |
