    oh, and hello, btw. This year I have mostly been partly dead of man-flu (which did include shivers, aches and cold sweats alongside a quite impressive hacking cough) enough so that I didn't make it to work today.

    I'm feeling slightly recovered, but now have a hideous taste in my mouth. Which is annoying given the huge quantity of nice food in our fridge.

    I hope your new year started better than ours!

    Absolutely superb. Just go and watch it.

    Proves that you don't need megabucks to make a great film. Hollywood, take note.

    given up on the satnav idea for now - local Asda didn't have any in stock anyway.

    I was talking to a mate about photography and he was asking about the 55-200mm lens I'd used on some of my flickr photos. I did a quick check on amazon for the Canon fit for his lens and noticed they were knocking them out for about £120. Hmm. Checked the Nikon fit, same price.

    Suggested to K that I'll put the asda card towards the grocery shop in return for cash, then I can complete my lens setup.

    We went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park the other day, and I noticed that they were going to run a course on Latte Art on 23rd January. Only a tenner!
    If you love coffee why not become a Barista for the day at Yorkshire Sculpture Park and create your own coffee blends to take home with leading industry expert and Managing Director of Coopers Coffee, David Cooper. Impress your friends with the technique of latte art with guidance from national barista trainer, Lisa Huntingdon.

    I mentioned it to K, who sneakily pocketed a leaflet. Wonder what I'm getting for my birthday? :-)

    So. Christmas, eh? All jolly good from our end, despite not getting up to Newcastle. Lots of nice things to eat, lovely presents and family all around.

    Santa brought me the new Star Trek film, Moon and the Dollhouse boxset, as well as a book of The Wire and some muji pens. I love muji pens. PENS. Things you write with!

    Seriously, you lot have filthy minds.

    :-)

    Then of course there was the Xbox, which EB has thoroughly enjoyed. Bro got me the new Call of Duty game, which is beautiful to look at and huge fun to play (when I get a chance). Tempted to pick up a wireless widget for it and XBox Live.

    anyone out there got an Xbox?

    So. Was santa good to you?

    looks like we're staying at home for christmas! Lots of snow near us, travel looks horrendous, so we're staying put. Grandma is disappointed but doesn't want us to risk travelling.

    Now we need to go and find some food for christmas lunch tomorrow!

    :-)

    Hope you're all safe and happy. Merry Christmas!
