... enjoying a finger of fudge and a cup of tea

... Doctors just make it up sometimes, I reckon. "Just, um, rest for 2 more weeks and see how it goes..." Yeah, right.

... eating gold coins, this might take a while, I have lots of them...

... sifting hundreds of emails, wondering why I'm awake so early, deeply unhappy that I'm working again...

... time for mayhem... Happy New year everyone!

... mental prep for tonight's festivities...

... Merry Xmas everyone

... is it time for the port and cheese yet?

... our main website decides to die on Xmas eve? You bastard.

... open fire, glass of red wine, 200g of twiglets... what more could you want?

... my Vibrox is making me feel all stiff and odd...

... just had a chest x-ray: Eastern European nurse, "so, do you have any...", smiles, raises one eyebrow, "...nipple piercings?"

... thinking that now seems like a good time to mull some wine...

... drinking strong coffee and wondering why I'm working at all?

... Oh dear, my first xmas hangover. At least i avoided the lounge though :)

... feeling well enough to party, just a little bit :)

... waiting in vain for coal

... butter-fried potato rosti topped with mature cheddar and chillis for second course of lunch... mmmm

... ah, xmas is great - drinking coffee laced with rum for lunch :)

... feeling the power of beans on cheese on marmite on toast coursing through my veins
