Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas to old friends and new: I’ve put faces to a good few new @[usernames] this year (the latest being just today), which is always nice- but those of you I haven’t yet met, and those of you I have met but not seen enough of this year (or in some cases for several years), well, it’s good to talk online too.

Festivities are a bit subdued as my other half has one of the many Christmas illnesses circulating: I’m hoping to avoid it.

After a few months of continually feeling in chaos, I actually feel like I’m passably organised: the turkey is in the fridge (the cellar not being as cold as 2010), the veg is prepared, most presents are delivered, and as is traditional, Muppet Christmas Carol is ready.

No cheeses for us meeces 🙂

Now I just have to decide if tonight’s tea is my third curry in 4 days. Is that excessive?

As usual, I’d like to hat-tip to local bloggers: my contributions have been a bit slack this year, and as usual, Bob’s done a better job of the hat-tipping. Long may you all educate, entertain, and inform the rest of us.
