Quiet...

It's very quiet - I think everyone is doing their Christmas shopping! So let me wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2008!

Re: Quiet...

Well, thanks John. Bit early for shopping yet - the laws in this country don't let you open on a Sunday until 10 - but perhaps they are all queueing with their trolleys all revved up and ready to go!

Hope your Christmas is a merry one and your new year a happy and fruitful one.

Like you, I wish everyone who reads this little missive a very festive, safe and joyful Yuletide.

Could be... Or is everyone hung over from too much Christmas partying?

Re: Quiet...

I've almost finished my shopping, but it's the decorating that has been taking up more of my time. Fortunately, that's pretty much finished.

Re: Quiet...

I'll make the mince pies while listening to the carols from King's College on Christmas Eve, as always. And mayhap a glass of red wine will help...

Roast duck for Christmas lunch.

Ho-ho-ho!

I guess I was thinking of the last two days being pretty quiet, too! But yes, half an hour after I sent the original post, I was waiting outside Morrisons supermarket in Lincoln for the place to open!

But you were just ducking out for a short while, so it doesn't really count.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

I hope each of you have a wonderful New Year and 2008. All the best!



Here's something I made for everyone, although it doesn't do much (I hope you have Flash installed and your sound switched on):

From Leisha: Merry Christmas, fellow Chronners!



Sorry about the long loading time...

Re: Quiet...

Merry Christmas everyone.

Nice animation, Leisha. Simple but effective.

I know I'm going to be stuffed with food on Christmas.
Yet I still have to buy presents for my sister and clothes for me to wear:s.
