I’m enjoying a coffee and a tidy up of the last minute online things that need doing before I go away into ‘internet-access unknown’ territory for 10 days!!! In that time comments will be moderated (as they have been for a week… I’m still having trouble getting MT to recognize those I trust not to write spam in the comments) so, sorry you’ve had to wait to see your comment love published!!
Christmas day was a lovely one starting with a traditional midnight service at a wee local anglican church… It think it’s the first non-‘wave your hands and clap for Jesus’ service I’ve been to in [eep] at least 5 years. There’s something about the traditional quiet reverent service that was just lovely, and something we miss in the rampant celebratory type parties I’ve been used to of late!
The day itself was spent with Kirk and the family, Kirk’s little fellow is known around here as my little squire and he and his cheeky monkey sister had a fabulous day and kept us entertained. It was the first day I’ve had in I don’t know how long when there was absolutely nothing I HAD to do. No client jobs hanging over my head, no papers to write… so there was absolutely no reason I couldn’t spend much of the day playing ‘Grim Fandango‘ I played it for the first time in 2000 so 7 years later there are still lots of surprises!! I’m not even halfway through and as it’s more simple than MYST and some if its counterparts I’m loving not having to play with a walk-through close at hand!!! Needless to say, the Mac and the games are coming on hols, even if there is no internet access there is still digital fun to be had!!
So, if our motel room doesn’t have internet (yeah, likely) I’ll see you in a week or two!!! (If I haven’t been to an internet cafe for a fix before then!!). Happy New Year!
