A proper Christmas dinner for the child.
This afternoon, Bean’s dinner consisted of raw Brussels sprouts, chocolate rolls, custard, a banana, a roast potato and a packet of crisps. I love my bean.
Daddy! Daddy! I found your snake?
Hehe, Henry the snake is still around. That thing is older than the Bean.
Quote of the day
Me to Katy: You know I expect to get lucky with all the awesomeness I’ve displayed today
Mel: Just keep the noise down.
Office Christmas Party
Katy and I invited the office bunch on Saturday for an informal xmas potluck. We discovered that 17 adults and 4 kids is pretty much the maximum that the house can fit, when the halls are fully decked. I hope that people had a good time. I know that there was plenty of food and booze, so that’s always a good place to start ;)

For those still present post-mayan apocalypse
Ahead of December 21, which marks the conclusion of the 5,125-year “Long Count” Mayan calendar, panic buying of candles and essentials has been reported in China and Russia, along with an explosion in sales of survival shelters in America. In France believers were preparing to converge on a mountain where they believe aliens will rescue them. Doomsday scenarios suggest that the date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. They include the arrival of the next solar maximum, an interaction between Earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy,or Earth’s collision with a planet called Nibiru.
One from my dad :)
A scary, sobering thought.
Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass murders. carried out with firearms across the country, with the killings unfolding in 30 states from Massachusetts to Hawaii. Scary fact #1, that’s more than 2 a year. scary fact #2, there have been 12 incidents in 2012 alone!

What happened to common courtesy?
Dear chav lady with glittery nails. Slagging off your barrista will not make your coffee brew any faster.
