Christmas and New Year photos at last


It's taken long enough, but I've finally uploaded the photos we took during our trip back to England at Christmas. We've been super-lazy since we got back, and I've just gotten round to it. Apologies for those of you pictured in the photos - I hope you can remember them :)

It's a cold, sunny, snowy, rainy winter this year. A bit of everything really. The last week was cold and sunny, and we took the opportunity to walk to work most days which was great. Steph finally got to do some skiing too last Thursday night after work. She had a great time, although probably wore herself out. Time for another lazy weekend I think! Right now the snow is falling again.

Hopefully, we are off to see Cloverfield tomorrow at the cinema with some friends. I've got a small backlog of mini movie reviews I ought to post. Maybe sometime in February at this rate...

Happy New Year!

I'm a bit late with this salutation, but who cares? Steph and I had a wonderful trip back to the UK over Christmas and the New Year. We saw lots of family and friends, ate and drank too much, and generally had a great time. Thankyou to everybody who put us up or just turned up to say hello - much appreciated :) We have lots of photos from our Christmas trip, but I haven't had a chance to sort them out yet. Maybe this coming week.

So what's new? Well, I'm actually returning to the UK in March for my nephew Zachary's christening, but its going to be a whistle-stop and I won't really get a chance to see anybody beyond my immediate family. Also, we had our annual heating breakdown in our apartment block this week, but it was only out for a couple of days this time.

On the bad news front, I heard on Friday that my tenants are leaving my house in Cambridge. I hope that my next bunch are as nice as the last. I also hope that I won't be without my rental income for too long - January isn't the best time of year to be looking.

Last night we went out to Yuk Yuk's comedy club with some friends, and had a really good time. Not much on the horizon for this week so far, but we'll see what it brings.
