How many days to Christmas?

Posted on in My Life, The World.

So, first Christmas in the new house. How’s it shaping up?

Cards written, half of them in the post, need to buy more stamps tomorrow.

Tree bought, carried back from Purley and assembled. Decorations up. (It feels wrong to be putting up decorations before Christmas Eve – I know nearly everyone else puts them up early these days but it still feels wrong to me.)

First variation of the edible sprouts recipe tested, a moderate success.

Two work Christmas parties to go to, need Film Noir/1940s Jazz fancy dress for one of them :-(

What have I forgotten? Presents. Bought so far: None.

Tomorrow. Central London. How bad can it be on a Monday morning? Don’t answer that.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a good holiday and don’t forget the most important thing – Doctor Who is on tomorrow!

Antlers

Just a quick one to point out that when you build a Christmas web site in October, sometimes things go a little strange…

Merry Christmas

Turkey eaten? Presents opened? Queen done her bit?

Good, that means I scheduled this post correctly.

Is it time for Doctor Who yet?

Very True Mood: festive

Books, lots of books

Posted on in Books, Doctor Who, My Life.

For a little while the size of my LibraryThing has been on 999 books. I knew that the first book I unwrapped on Christmas day (betting that I wouldn’t receive any books would have been a real long shot – I am married to a librarian after all) would be book number 1000. And so it was.

According to LT I’ve finished 49 books this year. I have twenty pages to go on another and there are a few more that have been more dipping in an out books than read from cover to cover books. So roughly one a week. Not too bad until you look at how many of them are picture books graphic novels.
