... when you have to think for a few seconds about whether a banana is yellow or pink. Truthsign, thanks for the heads-up about getting Traidcraft Christmas cards. It raises the horrible spectre of the word 'organised', but I really think I will have to do some of that next year, as earlier today I was hit by the 'constant round of things to do' blues, and wimped out of going with Spike this evening to meet a friend of his, as I've been out every night since last Wednesday. Although I have to admit, I did eat four restaurant meals in that time, only one of which I paid for :-D Yesterday, we did the mad-but-kind-of-has-to-be-done shopping trip around Croydon, where Spike surpassed himself by buying some truly inspirational presents, and we demonstrated the gender gap by him going into the Gents in Marks & Spencer, doing the necessary and coming out again *while I was still in the queue to get inside the door of the Ladies*.
My plans for the next 24 hours include: go to bed (as I may have mentioned), get to w*rk for 7am ish (zzz), hope to be released from w*rk asap, buy last-minute present for parents, go to children's Crib Service, write cards for church folk (told you I was disorganised), eat dinner, go to Midnight Mass. Then just the 1am present-wrapping to go before I sleep. My Christmas dinner will be cooked for me (as usual!). Yeah, I know, I have it easy!
Sooo, I will proceed, wishing you all a merry Christmas (tho' you have to wait a bit, Ian!). Oh, and if you happen to be reading this and are getting married before the year is out, very best wishes to you too :D Christmas weddings rock.
'Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free,
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in thee.'
