Christmas Round-Up
I can’t believe it’s been around five months since I last blogged. I take the lack of comment about this as an indicator of how many people read this blog 
Christmas this year was awesome, with T and I putting up our hands to do the traditional family lunch this year. As same as last time we did this, the oven broke (luckily this time two weeks before Christmas rather than two days before). Oven was replaced with a shiny new electric oven that actually goes to the temperature you set it up and thus disaster was averted. The cooking went scarily smoothly, and we nommed until we could nom no more.
One of the most fun parts of our Christmas lunch is between main course and dessert. We make our own crackers, which we have recently termed Insanity Crackers due to the insane amount of stuff we put in them, and these were used to give a pause between meal courses. And following the pulling of crackers is The Great Trade – everyone pokes through what everyone else got, and starts trading. It becomes very bloodthirsty at this stage
The least traditional present I got this year was from T – all the components for an automated irrigation system. Well, I liked it!
Not much else to blog about, really. Those who know me know I passed my exams, and have only a few months of service left until I am fully qualified in my field. And I have to admit I’m looking forward to the end of 2009 – not my favorite year to date, but delivering a hell of a lot of promise for 2010.
Have a great new year, folks!
