December 21st, 2006 01:49 pmAwesome night out last night - lots of drink, chat and fun had (I believe) by all. And I now have 2 pairs of fingerless gloves to wear at work, one of which I am wearing now.
I went over to the post office this lunch time to collect the parcel I noticed that I didn't get delivered yesterday and it was really really full! It was about 25 minutes wait but I got it in the end - a parcel from Janice, my old yorkshire friend. I haven't openned it up yet but I'm sure there is a beautifully wrapped inner parcel :)
Alex got some more wrapping paper last night so I can do the rest of my wrapping up this evening, which will be rather nice. I find wrapping very relaxing. And I got a book delivered which I'd forgotten I ordered; Mum's pile has gone from being meagre to being rather towering over the last week, in fact :) Next on my list is to give my mind to a sekrit bunneh gift as I'm rather slow getting started this year.

Last night
December 19th, 2006 01:59 pmFinally, I have managed to finish my Christmas shopping! I've done everyone, oh yes I have and Mum, your pile is no longer meagre :) Now I just have to wrap it all up. I ended up stashing it at Alex's office because I didn't think I'd be able to bike it home but in the end I could have kept hold of it as I ended up taxi-ing home with Ruth :) We were out celebrating the end of term and talking of Brownie stuff and everything else in the world. We always seem to have quality nights out - it was really good, although probably not fantastic for the diet :) Actually, I'm not going to worry too much about the diet until after Christmas - after all, I wouldn't want to spoil the gourmet feast Dad's preparing for us!
When I was at the gig on Sunday, the idea suddenly popped into my head that I would try to do a post every day next year. Could be fun, although it's unlikely I'd actually manage it. Still, I might give it a go. Something about the Pindrop Choir put me in a very aspirational mood - I was making plans to hand on the cello and start playing the violin again and join some kind of choir (again!) and all sorts :)
