Scurrying along then Neal came up for Xmas and we collected him from the train station the Friday before little baby Mithras's big day. We went to the pub and introduced him to the 'Cardiff People' whom we have adopted (or who may well have adopted us) from the pub. We came back to the flat and I made pizza. There was drinking and things. THUD.
Then it was Saturday and we all went to do the Xms shopping except me who stayed to wrap presents. In the evening I made Neal and Mars like Firefly and there was drinking and things. THUD.
Then it was Sunday and it was Xmas eve and I can't remember what we did. oh yeah - she went mad and took over the kitchen and just made nice things all bloody day. Like the wives on telly. There was drinking and things. THUD.
Then it was Xmas day and Mars went to work and I didn't and neither did Neal. Then Mars came home and we went to the pub and I got pints when I wanted halves then we went home and by the time Neal served dinner it was too late and we were hammered. Dinner was ace and I got a penguin DVD and some Hobgoblin and then it was Doctor Who which was brilliant and then we went to Karl's Brother's house to watch Karl's Brother's and Karl's Brother's Nice Girlfriend's children play Texas Hold 'Em Poker in a very open and unpokerlike manner then they went to bed then there was drinking and stuff then Karl's Brother went THUD. Then so did the rest of us, but not before a glass of Amoretto or something sufficiently similar so as to make no difference.
Then it was boxing day and Mars and Neal went to visit the in-laws and I had more or less broken myself so I had to stay in and do quiet things then they came back and we all went THUD.
Then it was the next day and I think Neal went home and on the Thursday I think it was I went to work, whch was different.
Then we went to Lincoln and got drunk with Mum and Dad and saw Dad's great big operation scar (came down with a nasty touch of the cancers just before the festive season, much to his and our displeasure) and it was nice (seeing M&D, not the scar. The scar was as nice as most scars are, i.e. not very). The next day we went for a walk, we being Mars and I and then we went to Pete and Andrea's new house where Billy and Gaynor who is going out with Billy now joined us in an orgy of dionysian excess to mark the new year, which I missed because I was going to hold on for a wee until after the chimes but Billy said 'I need a quick wee before midnight' and ran upstairs, so I panicked and ran to the loo as well, and I would have had time if I'd taken the same amount of time as Billy, but I couldn't stop weeing and I'll bet Mars snogged one of the girls instead just to spite me but I can't be sure. Pete and Andrea's new house is ace.
Then we went home to Mum and Dad's then we went to Neal's (our) house in Hull and had a curry and watched more Firefly because you are supposed to.
The next day Kath and Simon and Izzy came down and bought us Guinness and poshburgers from a cafe Bar and Mars got her hair cut then smiled all the time because having a haircut is her favourite. Then we put things in the car and we went home.
Since then I've been to work about three times or something. I'll write about that some other time though. I just need to get the Xmas story out of the way and fill in these gaps. I've got a new phone I want to go and play with.
