Where Did November go?
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007Damn, a whole month without posting.
Work was very busy (we had our annual DR test) and now we’re all in the vortex that is Pre-Christmas. The annual endurance test of shopping (not to mention trying to find a parking space before the shopping), present lists, cards, wrapping, postage (a big ticket item for us due to the number of relatives in the UK) with a bit of socialising thrown in. We’ve got my daughter’s Primary School Graduation, Work Social Club Xmas visit to Wet N’ Wild Water World, my new nephew’s naming day, plus a couple of work events.
No.1 Daughter has decided upon an Apple Ipod Classic for her main, combined Xmas & Birthday present with anything else as cold, hard cash. Of course in addition to the purchase cost is the almost mandatory accessorisation that needs to accompany it (dock, case, radio option). No 1. Son has presented a list almost exclusively computer games for PS2, Nintendo DS Lite & PC.
My wife’s list give me plenty of options to fulfill. My list is fairly scant but mainly books with few movies and the last two seasons of West Wing that I don’t have (S6 & S7).
Early Xmas gift is likely to include a Japanese PS3 for Region A Blu-Ray playback and a couple of Blu-Ray movies.
Anyway good luck to all those about to enter the Xmas vortex and hopefully emerge on the other side.
