i'm on holiday now!!!

Thanks to everyone for the Christmas cards!

Today was my first day of holiday and I'm really enjoying not being at work. I'm definitely ready for a couple of weeks to wind down. I'm going back down to Nottingham tomorrow for a week or so.

My uni friends came up last weekend and it was lovely. We had a mini Christmas and opened our presents from each other. Father Ted on DVD! Awesome. I took them to the Deep - the big aquarium place in Hull - which was pretty fabulous. I love seeing sharks! Going up the tank in a glass lift was very strange. I did have a bit of a cold all weekend which wasn't so great but it's mostly gone now apart from a cough. A good cure seemed to be the twelve hours of drinking that I managed on Friday for the work Christmas party. Normally if I mix alcohol and colds it doesn't go well, but I felt great on Saturday morning - I practically leapt out of bed which is extremely unusual for me!

Now I'm just counting the days until New Who!

thank *you* for the Christmas card! :D

I'm trying to tempt the Christmas specials to come faster. maybe they like a different flavor of muffins?

I got your card - thanks!

And sometimes I find that a good bender is the perfect cure for a cold. My tipple of choice on such occasions is vodka and orange juice. Vitamin C, right? Medicinal!

The tempting seems to be working - it's closer!

And I got yours, thanks!

Usually for me, drinking and colds is not a good idea. Clearly drinking rose wine, champagne, vodka and coke, and a cocktail involving two kinds of vodka, ginger beer and red bull seemed to do the trick. I hope your vodka and orange does the trick tonight!
