almost over …
the goose has been made into soup, the last of the stuffing was fried up for New Year’s Day brekkie and fed to gmul and purple_peril, and we pogged off the rest of the pud last night (to our subsequent regret – groans all round).
all that remains are 4.5 boxes of good chocs (might have gone a bit overboard there), dozens of clementines, half a christmas cake and – huzzah – 1.5 huge tubs of Maltesers (now, *that’s* what I call fun-sized).
my 2006 retrospective is almost written, and will be posted soon for my own marker, even if nobody else is remotely interested 🙂
this will be the last outing for the Bah Humbug icon this season, I think.
first outing of the year
for the icon, for the first sighting of the year – apparently Harrods have opened their Christmas Shop.
bah.
and, indeed, humbug.
phew
well, that’s the main food shop done – Sainsburys was remarkably unhorrible, and there wasn’t even a queue at the checkout.
all I have to do now, shops wise, is pick up the goose on Friday, and do a veg shop then. Oh, and pick up the wine from the off-licence. The freezers are stacked to the gunwhales, and I’m about to go and do some baking in a moment, while perlmonger puts the lights up.
and we now, officially, have three weeks off from customer-facing work, although I bet they’ve all forgotten that we’re on holiday.
I’m beginning to feel quite festive, in an odd sort of fashion …
giftmas shopping
that’s it – the cashmas shopping is done.
the boxed set of the West Wing series 1 – 6 for us to watch, and the Discworld calendar to hang on the study wall, plus a reasonably restrained order from Hotel Chocolat to much while we watch them.
bah humbug!
