Hoping you are all in the festive mood and have safely arrived where you are meant to be, for those who have been traveling.

What a great time of year...so much time to blog! So please expect to see daily updates for the next 10 days, but don't get used to it, because it ain't gonna last!

Yesterday Stephen was off work & I had a half day. It has been quite a busy week in having the company x-mas party on Fri, chores on Sat while hungover, Sunday down to see Stephen's family, working Mon & Tues. on Wednesday our small dept. had a team training day in Guildford followed by some shopping & then dinner at a nice restaurant where I had some very rich food and lots of wine. In bed by 12:30. Worked Thurs. hungover which led to yesterday's 1/2 day, where we ate breakfast together, did some "work" and then home. Stephen & I did some kamikaze strolling through the mall waiting for King Kong to start at 3:30.

Ok King Kong. I didn't want to see this based on the trailer because it appreared to be a typical action thriller with very good special effects, but very little of interest beyond that. Stephen & all the good reviews convinced me to see the movie as it was "a perfect movie" "not to be missed". Do you see where I'm going with this yet?

Basically, I should have trusted my instincts. It was not a very engaging film & probably not the result that Peter Jackson was aiming for.

Anyway, it was a good way to kill 3 hours...we came home ate and ate & drank & went to bed early.

Stephen is now preparing for sleeping in tonight at work. I think I'll be going to the Xmas Eve service in the town centre to sing some carols and what not...but not before I give our apartment a good once-over...it's been moving quickly towards the "unexeceptable" point.

That's all for now...keep on truckin.
