Christmas Day

So, just finished watching Casino Royale (fabulous trunks) and awaiting Dr Who so thought I'd take a minute to blog. The presents were a success (unlike last year) and both the Aged Ps are happy with their allocations. For my part I received everything I asked for - DVDs (ER, Sex And The City The Movie, Sopranos), slippers (boring but necessary), socks - pink argyle ones, very nice, hand towels (again, boring but necessary) and a step ladder. Which was wrapped! Also a cocktail shaker to match my kitchen splashback - very clever, my Mum. All in all a successful Xmas. No rows. Food was fabulous (apparently) and I had a bit of mashed up this and that. Even the wine I brought home was good. Now awaiting a disaster of course...

Hope you all had a good time too. Heard from DD this morning and the weather in Spain in the mountains is very good (apparently the rain has stayed mainly in the plain). She also gets UK TV and was therefore able to watch Gavin and Stacey which was v v good. Roll on Series 3... Also spoke to John (without arguing - it was a fairly brief conversation) and had a best wishes text from the lovely Andrea. Text from the Taylors yesterday so may not hear anything further on that front until 2009.

Booked for Twelfth Night with Derek Jacobi in March at the Donmar West End in London and will be going to see The Marriage of Figaro at The Millennium Centre in Cardiff in February. Plus start new job on 02/02. So 2009 already shaping up as busy. Hurrah. Oh forgot, also got membership of the National Botanical Gardens of Wales for Xmas so hopefully off for a visit there soon (I just love it there). So goodwill to all you men and women out there and see y'all soon. J x
