Meanderings of a Monkey Juggler

Sigh.  Today's my second day back at work after the hols.  Sigh again.

Work itself has been quite quiet although the people insisting on coming tend to be the ones you don't want to see.  You know the kind, the insistent ones; those who think all their problems are everyone else's fault.

Still I had a nice Christmas to look back on fondly.  K was working Christmas Eve into Day (7pm - 7.30am) so I had to get up early to give her a lift home.  She opened 1 prezzy then and went to bed.  I did too but got up at around 10.  Then me and her mum sat and watched about an hour of traditional music and dance from Bg which was surprisingly entertaining. 

I did the cooking and it turned out rather wonderfully.  So that was nice.

After food was prezzies:  Some surprises, some repetition, some known quantities of stuff.

Most notably was that I've now got the new Nintendo RSI (err sorry...DS) with 4 games.  It's very good by the way, but don't play Mario Kart (excellent game) for longer than about 15 minutes if you value your wrists and thumbs.  K got her home spa kit.  Between us we have 3 calendars with puppies on them (yes 3).  Lots of chocolate too.

One annoyance was that I spent some time trying to get the RSI to work online but they only allow you to use a certain kind of router encryption.  I converted my router and set up and have since been completely unable to get on line via that router with anything.  I saved all the passwords, wrote them all down and still can't get the bugger to work.  It had better be ready by the time that Animal Crossing Wild World comes out here!  Anyway that's why I've not posted recently.

The evening was great fun.  P, C, D and Mr and Mrs Silver all turned up for larks and frolics.  Silly games galore and some drinks and giggling was infectious.  Highly enjoyable.

Following day was partially spent round at Plumpton-Bears' eating P's rather nice left-over turkey curry.  So more nice company.

Did I say I'm back at work now?  Sigh.

Have fun.
