I have a lot of lovely friends...

...and thank you to all those who sent love and good wishes and other things. And truly, guys - it really does get better as you get older. Life is bloody wonderful.

I had yummy duck dinner with the immediate family (including lederhosen, da_norvegicus and his father, my mum and brother Ben, waitingman, xmas_chan, and joining us for dessert, quatranoctal. What more could I ask for? And then I received evil chocolate, lovely DVDs and CDs, a coffee grinder and a dubious game of "Zombies", which lederhosen is investigating right now.

We tested the coffee grinder tonight - it turns out that coffee beans which have been in the fridge for 6 months are a touch too damp to grind properly. We'll try some drier ones later. Never mind - the caffeine is keeping me going for a couple of hours, long enough for dinner.

And then sleep. Sleep would be good. Us old ones need our sleep.

Zombies is fun. But can take ages, especially if you get all the expansions involved. It's by the same people who make "Grave Robbers from Outer Space", which you gotta admit, explains a few things!

Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!...click. click. click. click. click. click...
