themis1 December has gone in a flash, really. We've been busy at work, and I do like to try and get things at least moving in the right direction before packing up for the festive break. One or two things didn't get done, but on the whole I feel reasonably happy with the state of play. I was doing quite well on the 'throwing things away' front, too, until we got a huge delivery of packages which, for lack of space elsehwere, got stacked in front of my filing cabinet until the New Year - !
I haven't done anything at all on the PhD front other than collect more paper - but I now have a week off, so hopefully some of that will find its way into files. If I can just get some order into the chaos, everything else should follow naturally (she laughed).
The unusually warm Autumn has meant we have a rose in bloom in the garden for Xmas - actually with the freezing fog the last few days I think it's freeze-dried, but nonetheless! The heron I've seen once before passed by again this morning, which was nice as Phoebesmum and Wannabedolphin saw it too. It must live in the area - last time I saw it I just thought it was lost!
We are now just about ready for Xmas - the turkey's in the freezer (well, the turkey breast, there only being two meat eaters), the vegetables are all over the place, and there's the usual abundance of twiglets, cheese and crackers around the place. I've nearly finished the wrapping, and tinsel has been draped over everything that doesn't move (the cats narrowly escaped).
I never did get into Neverwinter Nights 2, I'll have to give it another go at some point, got back into Neverwinter Nights 1 instead - and I must check up on some of the downloads! Have also discovered Dragonfable, a free (or very cheap, you get benefits from a one-off payment) game which plays in the browser. Silly, simple and great fun.
My passing gentleman hasn't managed to get here in time for Xmas so one of my pressies will be late this year, he had flu and then his daughter's car broke down, so there went the week before Xmas ...
No other news - merry Xmas to all my readers!!
