7.14am... is that reasonable for new year's Eve? guilt at leaving the party... insane.

Here we go... where's the rabbit hole?

*sigh* hurt my back shifting coal. Am resigned to a day of drinking port, lying on the sofa...

Heading back to Lancaster...

Just beat the family at trivial pursuit, it is a good feeling.

Just failed to give money to ed alleyne-johnson on the mean streets of Chester.

In Chester!

8 people for xmas dinner - lots of fun. Evening of drinking various types of gin - lots of fun. Cleaning the house this morning - not funny.

Essentially, it boils down to this

Elderflower champagne, gifts, pancakes... good start...

Merry Christmas... :)

There is the very real possibility that I have peaked too soon... still, only pussies can't peak twice a night eh?

Annoyed for no reason. Analyse. Ah yes, there appears to be a Barry Manilow concert on the radio.

Off for beers at the Tivoli, morecambe...

Sausage-less rolls!

Right, I think it's about time to embark on a ten day bender.

Sometimes lunch just isn't pretty...

Snow!

Kids throwing snowballs at the window. I wouldn't mind but they're like ice and my windows are like paper :( Just shouted at them...

Snow snow snow snow. Not often seen so heavily in old Lancaster :) The cats are less keen...

4am is the new 2am.

Ah, Friday night... mayhem or madness? I can't decide.

Thai Aubergine curry and coffee for breakfast

I have a day off. I love days off. I might even get out of bed at some point.

Attending the first twisted film club in ages.

Lunch today is left over tagine

Peace brought about by hot chocolate and a mince pie...

AAARGH, all our main websites are down :( Joy of joys.

Wondering if it is close enough to Xmas to start my 10am port-drinking regime?

Mid-afternoon snack, cheese on toast with chipotle chilli sauce and smoked paprika

Another mystery freezer lunch looms. I found a small pot of something brown. Some kind of sauce. Reheating before I decide on rice or pasta.

Listening to Rage Against the Machine. Enlivening.

Word of the day: aulophobia - Abnormal fear of flutes.

A jolly Xmas video for you all http://ping.fm/c9JmH (not completely work safe :)

"Oh Thufir, I see they've installed your heart plug already.... Don't be angry. Everyone gets one here."

Caller: Can I speak to Caroline please? Me: Sorry, you've got the wrong number (pause) oh, unless you mean my wife... she's called Caroline

I simply do not understand one third of this country.

Challenging evening. Took hours to get home. Lost my hat. Needed hotel staff to turn my room lights on. *sigh*

argh! Xmas horror!

At works Xmas party, God help me...

Breakfast on the run!

Hampstead pub crawl, jolly good

Hungry, tried and cold. Unprepared to travel to London later today. Wondering if I should visit Londis for chocolate milk and dirty crisps..

Oh yes, super hot chilli sauce ftw!

Yik! yack

So hungry that I may have to get that butter pie out of the fridge and consume it immediately.

If Mini cheddars are one third fat by weight and I just ate 100g of mini cheddars, the question is, how sick do I feel?

Oh God, can I eat this Butter Pie? Feel quesy just looking at it!

British Gas engineer is here, making tool-using noises in the bathroom, with the door closed. An occasional sigh.

Umm, 51,366 unread emails...? http://ping.fm/Su4e2

Feel ill, about to go to the pub. *sigh*

I have an alcohol hangover. How quaint.

Beer in town, jolly good.

Productive morning bottling my alcohol for Xmas... :)

This is breakfast, it may make you feel slightly queasy...

Burnt my black beans... :( Must remember to take more breaks...

Long weekend. I know, lucky.

Mitchell's Brewery, Lancaster, is being demolished RIGHT NOW (9.30am), go down and help out, protest!

Nothing like a minor emergency that needs to be resolved within 10 mins to start your day off, as you rub sleep from your eyes...

I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, Oh silly me...

Culling people today. With the click of a button I eliminated 7,000 people earlier. I have another 11,000 lined up now. Ah the power...

Just found a 'you weren't home' card downstairs from Royal Mail. I was! I was! I'm right here! Why not try actually knocking? Hmm?
