Hurrah for lie-ins ;) That the longest I've had for a while. Hopefully it'll see off the last of the jet-lag! It's almost, but not quite, seen off the hangover too.
Last night was much fun, as always, with the usual suspects in attendance and the Table of People from Queens No-one Knows. No-one from ADS showed tho!
Lots of catching up with people and very silly dancing, as is traditional. And drinking of course! Tho we did leave a bit early due to the horror of getting taxis, so didn't get quite as much drinking in as some I suspect. I also came away with a sore neck (again, traditional) and a copy of a new Horslips album, a live one at that, thanks to Davey.
Particularly good to see Mairhi and Davey again, will really have to make more of an effort to keep in touch and not just see them once a year or so. I think I have her convinced to come horsey riding with Banbha sometime soon, which would be great ;) Can't belive Banbha is 9 now. 9! I thought 7 at the most. How time flies...

Today I will mostly be buying a christmas tree and putting up some decorations, so the house doesn't look like the Land Christmas Forgot this year. It seems my christmas spirit is finally returning (slightly ;p). Hurrah! I may even get round to writing some cards. Maybe.

First of course I should actually get dressed. And maybe start unpacking.

Mission Christmas tree was a success! It wasn't easy, but finally I tracked one down. Now i just have to put it up and cover it in fluffy lights and tat ;)

Also saw the most amazing firey sunset while I was a-hunting, which reminded me that today is the shortest day.

So Happy Winter Solstice everyone, and here's to brighter times ahead!



Edit - Tree significantly larger than it appeared on box. This may take some time... Also, need more tat. And more lights!
AHA! Now have somewhat randomly decorated tree. None of this themed tree lark for me! Shove anything on that sparkles ;p
