How was it?

Morning all, how were your Christmas Days?

I'm happy...the 'possible future son-in-law' gave me a Logitech surround sound system, and my pal Dan put a ticket for Mark Knopfler's Glasgow gig in my cracker!

Wifey was somewhat bemused to unwrap my gift - a Honda generator(it's a long story, but she needs it)

Ho ho ho ho ho ho......
Sounds like you had a spiffing day oop north there James - it was a good 'un here too chez Straummy

Hey what a coincindence... my wife didn't get one but she does need one of those. She needs it to run my tyre warmers at Cadwell park and other UK tracks with no power in the pits.

Perhaps she'll get one for her birthday....  She'd better appreciate it though.

Hi,

Nice and quiet one. Did not go anywhere, or spend it with anyone.

Have been fighting a sinus infection, and it was nice to be able to get up, do nothing, go back to bed, get up, read a little, go back to bed, get up, play a little warcraft, go back to bed, get up, read a little, take some Nyquil at 7PM and go back to bed to get up at 4AM to get ready for work.

I guess that as I get older, Christmas has less of a reason to be, for me. Even the words are hollow to my ears, and I prefer to be inside and quiet these days ... wanted to write a poem, but it wasn't there ... wanted to get X1, but the desire wasn't there ... wanted to call someone ... the desire wasn't there .

I did play some music ... and heard (again) a John Lennon interview that was interesting. Honestly, I think that he was so confused in his last years, musically and artistically ... and that Yoko was not helping the whole equation anymore, though he stuck by her when most men wouldn't! There are some nice bits in there ... really nice bits ... but sad as well.

I was going to play all comedy all day long, and never even thought about it ... and just read a little and slept some and did what the australians call "sweet f--- --- nothing" all day!

Going to see nearly all my nieces and nephews (7 of 8) and two of three sisters on Satiddy in Beaumont, CA.

Excellent..I'm sensing that a turkey or chicken/stuffing/cranberry sauce/sprout/roast potato/bread sauce sarnie may be in your immediate future...? 

 
You sir, know me only too well
 
I have managed a couple of Chicken+English Mustard+Bread Sauce+Stuffing+Cranberry Sauce sarnies mate
 
Mind you, I have just broken my reasonably strictish diet and sat down to a plate of cold chicken with bubble and squeak (spuds, parsnips, carrots, sage & onion stuffing and sprouts) and baked beans, liberally sprinkled with Worcestershire Sauce
 
What could go wrong

I got these too:



I'm gonna set them up and listen to Abbey Road.

Have a smashing time with them.

It was peace and joy.... now all I need is some peace and quiet.

Was also surprised to find out the main character, Rick, is a Brit. Freaky. Kind of like when I found out Hugh Laurie was and then got compelled to watch all the Eps of Black Adder.

Whatever you do ... skip over 'A Bit Of Fry And Laurie'. It's awful, unless you find comedy such as this ... "Oh Laurie, you're wearing a yellow tie, you said you were going to wear a brown one." followed by 'insert crowd laughter loop here' amusing.

It's free on Hulu (IIRC). Go 'head ... I dare ya, no ... I double dog dare ya!

Well Hugh Laurie could fart in his hand then smell it for half an hour and I'd watch it. Not sure what it is about that dude but I find him highly entertaining.

My sisters husband and Laurie could be twins. It's really amazing.

Good to see ya, Bub. Hope you and yours are all happy and healthy.

Good to see you too Beepster. Everything is status quo so I can't complain.

Speaking of which... did you ever go to the doc about that noggin' bonk?

No I didn't, but I think I'm going to. I'm really dizzy all the time now. If I move my eyes or head too fast I get almost sea sick. I just haven't had time with the holidays and all the people coming to the house to take a day and go get checked. I know the first thing they are going to do is send me for some kind of scan and I just don't want to deal with it.

Thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you. Gotta head out now and get the place tidy. Our Realtor is coming by tonight to see all the remodeling we did. It's unusual, but we got really close to her and became friends. When I first met her and got in her car, she had Marty Robbins blasting on the stereo ... I knew we'd be friends at that point.
