Yup as much as I want to wax lyrical about the lovely Xmas I had with my family... Boxing day whooping my brothers butt at games with his gorgeous wife and my mum, salsa with mel, chillin' with SJ and getting drunk with my relatives... I won't.

It was a brilliant Xmas. Went ti Norwich for new year. Flat hunt hit some snags so am back next weekend for more hunting.

NYE has been great. Spent it with Adam and the gang at the Brickmakers. Had a great night but I didn't make the choices I expected to make.

Evening started well on the girl front with mutual smiles etc... but ended in a less satisfactory manner. I am wonering how much of that is due to a lack of balls on my part and how much is due to random other conversations that ended up feeling spanner shaped.

The best I could do was an 'I hope to see you next week'

I also might have been a tad too honest with someone else. Not in a rude or unpleasant way, but in an 'oops I might just have showed you all my cards' kind of a way.

This city clearly has a bad effect on me.

It is 4.44 and I can't stop going over bits of the night. It's uber frustrating because I can't do anything about the girls doing the mental equivalent of the Macarana around my head.

But on the other hand what would be the point of life if your libido and hormones never had a say in how you frame your life?

Blessed Be

...ok so the paradise thing is a bit extreme, but tomorrow morning I have to move my stuff out of the place i've been looking after. *sigh* it's been nice while it lasted. I really like my own company....and having an internet connection to myself. So very speedy. Oh well...all good things come to an end and as long as I think of it as a sort of working vacation I am happy.

Went to see F today. Sang some Singstar, even though I'm full of cold. Actually I can hardly talk now. I think going out in the cold coupled with forcing my poor swollen throat to sing has taken it's toll. Hopefully I'll be improved tomorrow. F made chocolate muffins while I was at her place. They were so good - I miss her culinary skills. I'd call her a master baker...but it sounds a bit rude if you read it fast!

Got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow. Really have to pick up my painting from Russell and get things sorted for the trip up north and to Norwich. I think my normal little travel case is going to prove too small. I need to take a computer as well as all my party frocks and Christmas prezzies...I need a Mary Poppins style bag. Oh well I guess I'll just have to taken an extra bag as well as my case. Not the easiest thing for travelling, but needs must.

Right. I'm off. There is house work and packing with my name on it.

Blessed Be and Joyous Yule.
