- Saw Rufus Wainwright in concert at the beginning of December. Never heard his stuff before. Some good, some not.
- Put up with seeing Michael Bublé. Can croon OK, but shows off too much.
- Major Midget's broken arm mending. Cast comes off tomorrow. Has been signed by a couple of minor indie pop stars apparently. Will be nice and stinky after 4.5 weeks.
- Bought replacement double glazing for the kitchen. Gets installed Thursday.
- Happy Clappy Xmas Carol concert. 'Carols' included "He comes from the Glory", "The best thing, the very best thing about Christmas (is Jesus)". Highlight was upon asking the congregation what all good Xtians are hoping for this SantaClaus birthday season. The answer shouted back from 6 year old midget picked as the only one with her hand up: "BLING!!".
- Worryingly Minor Midget (age 7) won the Xmas Bible quiz, thoroughly thrashing all of the real Xtian children in attendance. Two guesses what her ironic prize was?
- 18lb Xmas turkey roasted overnight. Cavity stuffed with oranges, lemons and butter. Only 7lb left now in the back of the freezer. No turkey curry yet made.
- My Xmas gifts included rubbish and nothing I asked for when I was pressed. I.e. no-one managed to actually buy things from my Amazon wish-list of over 300 items, all deciding they knew better what I may want. Why ask me if you're then going to go off and by me some ornamental gimmick?
- PS2 for WPKAW was a big success. Unfortunately, seeing as she is a classically trained singer, she likes
humiliating anyone and everyoneplaying Singstar Party all of the time. - One of Major Midget's friends got a spare drum kit from his 'uncle'.
- The midgets were pleased with their lot. The ploy is to lower expectations so much that a hoop and stick are more than enough. Of course one midget gets the hoop and the other the stick, so that much entertainment can be had squabbling over them.
- Major Midget (age 10) became a woman at the beginning of December. She chose to tell me first.
- Much badgering by WPKAW's family over when I will be making ah honest (or is that decent) woman of WPKAW. Much mingling with other guests on my part at Boxing Day get together.
- WPKAW and I had two arguments over marriage in the holiday season. Seems the more drunk she gets the more urgent she feels the need to get herself kicked out onto the kerb. Some part of "I will never get married" is simply not understandable to wiminz it seems. I have no scope and thus no intention to make such promises.
- WPKAW is still redundant. In a work sense that is. Still she got to take me to her work's Jebusmas Pagan Solstice (Harry Potter themed) at the Royal Courts of Justice. Was a celebration of how much money her old company had made. Mainly by axing half the admin staff.
- My work's Xmas party was James Bond themed. It was rather dull except one of my workmates had just quit so it doubled up as her send off. She both boogied and woogied par excellence for an Essex girl, 4-eyed, Ellen McArthur lookalike.
- The New Year's party I took WPKAW to was James Bond themed. This is entirely coincidental and nothing to do with getting the party hosting company's details. Plus WPKAW is mad keen on 007 stuff.
- It turns out that Roulette is my game. I came out of the Casino over £1000 up.
- It turns out that Blackjack is not WPKAW's game. We came out of the casino around even on aggregate.
- Am back in the office today. First time since Dec 19th. Will next venture in some time next week I suspect.
