Only
two more days till Christmas and just over a week till the New Year. As
you have no doubt noticed, I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon.
What happened was just life really. Pesky thing keeps getting in the way
of my blogging!
Moving
into my new home went well although the lack of furniture left me living out of
boxes for a couple of weeks. Then came the food poisoning – can I just
say, if you even want to be put off a food type, get food poisoning from
it, after knocking me out for about a week,
I went off fish – shame it wasn’t chocolate or glazed Krispy Kremes
which keep popping up in my office. Around the same time, I had work
deadlines which mean late nights at work and not a lot of time for much
else. And then a head cold reared its ugly…head,
just to round things off nicely.
But
it hasn’t been all bad though! I mean come on, how can it be? I had a
wonderful trip to Lisbon and tried the best Pasteis de Natas, caught up
with my lovely Aussie mate A- (who lived in London before I did!), went
to my first ever
Panto and other theatre trips, as well as helping plan my work
Christmas Pub Crawl/Scavenger hunt which was loads of fun – there gaudy
plastic green sun glasses, 'bah-humbug' Santa hats, and sparkly reindeer
headbands, really what more could you ask for? The
pub crawl may have involved a punchy Shaun the sheep getting a taken
down. There were witnesses. And photos. And how can I forget the recent
treasure hunt around Covent Garden where I saw a snowman lick a bin, get
advice on how to be a proper snowman (in case
you're wondering, the advice given was that he should not have arms and
fly) and have a scuffle with a penguin? You know you want to hear that
story ;)
So,
over the nice chunk of public holidays and weekends coming up, I'll be
pulling myself up by my boot straps and preparing a whole host of blog
posts for your reading pleasure in the New Year. What are you up to over Christmas and New Year?
Till then, whether you are away or at home, have a
wonderful Christmas and
New Year,
Sam
