The Christmas season is definitely upon us.
I know this because my child is frantically 'dusting for Jesus' and I got to beat her with the big twigs kindly left by the Pan European Child Whipper on Tuesday morning (here). I am also attending more corporate events than you can shake a lukewarm canape at, whilst wading through stupid volumes of work that are being rudely dumped at my door as other people clear their inboxes.
It's difficult to muster up the energy for Christmas, which is very unlike me. Today I took a day off from work and my corporate rigor mortis smile, to spend the day giving good Christmas to my daughter.
Today's highlights:
I've been tagged by Sally (here) in a memorable firsts confessional. It's taken me a while to take up this gauntlet, mainly because Sally has kept me busy with her horrifying requests to video myself (here) and partly as my memory is absolutely shocking. (I blame the gin.)
I love any opportunity to talk about myself and would confess to everything and anything for added attention. Due to extensive grey matter abuse, I've had to adjust Sally's list slightly. Sorry Sally, I'm a consummate cheat and frankly I just can't remember everything. Thank the Lord.
First record:
The first tape I ever bought myself was Five Star Silk and Steel. I am one of Tracy Barlow's contemporaries, I am the lost tape generation. (And yes, I used to go upstairs to play them.) What I can't believe is my daughter will never, ever get the joy of rewinding a tape using a pen or her finger. Poor thing.
I've been tagged in the Guardian Q&A meme by Him up North and Hello It's Gemma. The meme originated over at the Mrs Lister Writes blog, go here to read more.
The idea is that once you have read my answers you'll a) think I'm nice b) think I'm a nob c) want to go for a pint with me. Looking at the title will save you the bother of reading further.
Something light, fluffy and pointless for a change.
I've been tagged in the refrigerator meme by Penny from the Alexander Residence blog (here for her great blog and very worthy fridge contents). Yeah, it's about my fridge. Get over it.
Now I would like to say that Penny tagged me because of my great culinary and cleanliness renown, but that would be a big fat lie. She tagged us (me and my co-slovenly-accused Kate from I am Wit Wit Woo) so that she could laugh at our domestic failure and scorn our fridge victims (more of them later).
