Hello all!

Just a very quick (copy and paste from a mail sent out to family and friends actually... sorry, work is frantic!) update, it should all settle soon and i can do propper blogs!

So its now that bloody time of the year again. Jingle bells.. jingle bells, jingle bells rock... AAAAARGH!!!! between that and the screaming ankle biters whining their backsides off about "I want I want I want" being pulled up and down the freezing streets and not being told to shut the hell up of have their teeth knocked out... well, it's enough to understand why people are taking guns to schools (since you can't give your child a well deserved smack on the backside anymore, and more and more parents here are technically kids themselves!). *grin*  

This year, I have opted to work through xmas again. It's nicer to do that from here  I'm happy to do it as most of my friends are going home over the festive season and hell I might as well work through it now and take three weeks in March to go to SA, when the tourists have left home and the weather here is REALLY bad. So far it is ok, it's cold, but it is warmer than it has been here, at this time of the year, in a loooong while, apparently :)  

Life is good, work has been quite frantic, so nothing changes there. I have been going out a hell of a lot too what with Cathy being out from Cape Town and my birthday celebrations. I'm quite grateful that things are now settling down and I can get back into a routine of gym and work and jol on weekends only! (lets not all laugh out loud at once at the thought of this actually working, I know me better than that!)

So on my birthday i went out and had the mother of all steaks (for London at any rate), it was a bloody piece of poetry on a plate. So tender and while defiantly too small for my liking, it was as thick as my fist and actually cooked to perfection... so still somewhat breathing! Just a few close friends, some wine... and champing, and some more wine... hmmm... well it was a late evening and hell, work on Friday was not fun because of that, but it was well worth it.

Sat was the get together, a heap of people a pub... you do the math! The few of us left standing at the end of it went clubbing at the Roadhouse in Covent gardens, had a great time there and ended up being the last people to leave the club. So it was a good weekend!

Been to more pubs, and to Camden and to a few shows and and and and... for about three weeks running now. I have to stop that. Just for December. Or no one gets xmas presents.

I'm sure that quite a few of you are on leave for most of December, so I wanted to wish you a happy happy, have a good time, remember the cops are out in force, so take the back roads :) and have a Christmas drink for me!

Lots of love
