christmas 2008

Well there it was gone!!! Christmas 2008!!
I really enjoyed a restful Christmas this year, even though on Christmas day I did all the cooking, and made a round trip to Runcorn twice (superman or what??) to bring my sister to my house and take her home in the evening. Everybody enjoyed the food I cooked, only a basic Turkey crown for Christmas day lunch, but it was really juicy and tasty. Toby finished the last of his this morning.
The only negative was trying to set up the wireless router for Davids new laptop.
It was partly my own fault. I have been with a new Internet provider since mid November, and I left the router in the box, having no need for it. When I tried to set it up yesterday, I discovered a fault on it. A very helpful guy from Virgin talked me through the fault finding for three quarters of an hour. The upshot is the router is faulty, and he has ordered us another one. Hopefully we will have it Wednesday, and David will be online.
The other downer was I nearly sliced my thumb off last night opening a tin of Corned Beef!! My thumb was cut really deep, and it bled for ages, but it will be fine in a day or two.
I am now looking for some me time before new Years eve, going to the gym, swimming/sauna and relaxing.
