All quiet on the southern front at the moment…
Had a fantastic Christmas with Sian and Helen – we ate and drank until we couldn’t move and managed to produce a great Christmas dinner for three. Went over to Twickenham to visit Sian’s parents and gran on Boxing Day which was great too.
Been back at work this week – fortunately its been very quiet and working hours have been short and sweet. Off to Glasgow tonight for a couple of days, back on the first. Staying at my sister’s flat apart from hogmany which I spending at the Dalmeny Park Hotel. Rumours of a DCS meetup in Glasgow on Friday night and also hoping to meet up with as many of the old gang as possible. If anyone’s around it would be good to meet up!
Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a fantastic New Year!

Festive party season is in full swing but only managed to find one photo of me in the hundreds taken at the work bash:
Only actually know Neil (on the right) – he’s in my team, the rest are just some of the thousand odd randoms there – and that’s just the London IT department! Actually just remembered that Neil knows the others in the photo so not really randoms I guess.

Matt and I went and got a Christmas tree tonight, the place is looking proper festive with all these lights, tinsel and baul-bauls, tucking into a nice mince pie and a glass of port while I write this post! Matt’s even downloading Christmas tunes as we speak:

Fairly quiet weekend this time round – not much going with Sian’s exams looming!
Had a quiet Friday night in watching Lost and chilling out on the couch. Had a fairly lazy Saturday but then headed off into town with Matt to join the celebrations for Charlie’s birthday. Started off in the Jazz Cafe in Camden watching Kokoloko (a decidedly un-african african beat jazz band). Then moved on to a private party in some random bar nearby – was good just to sit, chat to good friends and drink a lot of beer. Slightly strange to do all the dancing at the start of the night while sober and then sit in a bar when hammered! Got a taxi home at half 2 and collapsed in bed.
Sunday was very lazy, only managed to get dressed at 5PM, dashed out for a quick Sunday Waga with Matt and Linus and then back to the couch before bed.

Went to see the Proclaimers tonight with Jim and Helen, managed to sneak some photos and videos on my phone that I thought I’d share. Also managed to bag myself a signed copy of the new CD. Sang myself horse and boogied away – drank too much too!
Wandered into ASDA on the way home to try and get an xBox 360 – its amazing where the drunken monkey will lead you! Just as well they did actually have any!
