So, it being the holiday season, or at least the tail end of the holiday season I thought I’d emerge from the hole in which Kathryn and I have been hiding and wish you all a Very Merry (if somewhat late) Xmas. We, for our part, lurked inside the house and I had a fantastic day. Peaceful, relaxing and with the woman I love.
We had a slightly lazy morning (by my standards), and got up at half-8/9ish when hunger and the fact that I’m still like a child at Christmas (bouncy, in my usual bouncy way) got the better of us. Thankfully I didn’t get an agency shift, something my bank account is less overjoyed about than me, which mean that we could munch on home made Chocolate and Pecan pancakes (Americanstyle). Then we did prezzies, and Kathryn’s mom & dad had been very generous which meant that prezzies actually took quite a while.
Kathryn and I then did each other’s prezzies. Kathryn got me the Morris Minor Biography, which I’d spotted only weeks before and lusted after; she ordered it way before though…
But the best gift, is the one she made:
She made me a mini Kate Monster!
She’s so cute! And awesome! (applicable to both Kate Monster and Kathryn).
I want to take her to work and ‘assess’ patients with her. It would both be awesome and hilariously amusing (for me).
Sorry, two awesome’s in one sentence. We relaxed the rest of the day, with a little break to cook a Xmas dinner (Parmesan Chicken, veggies, Yorkshires). We watched White Christmas and the Doctor Who Xmas Special (with scary Cybermen)! It was one of the most beautiful Xmases I remember.
Yesterday, we repeated the Xmas experience with the visit to my Mum’s; getting yummy prezzie from her and her partner, fluffy prezzies from my sister and her husband and sharing our hand-made gifts with them.
And tomorrow, before my nights, we shall have a mini spending spree, since everyone rather handily gave us vouchers for the same store (John Lewis), although we’re planning a little trip to Peter Jones, in Chelsea, as befits our double-barrelled name :)
The only other news over the Xmas period that occurs to me to share is that my laptop is not, well, great. We’ve had days without some of the keys, days when we’ve decided not to start, and the screen’s clearly on it’s way out again :(
I’m watching a few G4 Powerbooks on ebay, and may pick up one of them to replace the aged Dell… Oh, and ‘beccamogs shaken one of the exhaust clamps loose, so I need to do that up tomorrow, or Tuesday. :)
