I haven't managed to send Christmas cards to friends for the past two years, due to exhaustion. So I have a pretty big collection of them waiting to be sent now. Who wants one ( Read more... )

I'm afraid that I utterly, utterly failed to send out any Christmas cards this year. I was supposed to be doing them on 18th December, but then I found out about meirion and spent the whole day crying instead. Then I promptly went down with the kind of cold which turns your brain to snot and spent several days doing nothing more strenuous than lying in ( Read more... )

Blah. I have various people that I'm supposed to be emailing or otherwise contacting, and I don't have enough energy. I'm sitting on irc watching conversations happen because I don't feel up to saying anything.

One of the things I need to say is this:
If you are a person who would normally buy me a Christmas present, don't bother this year. ( Read more... )

I am ridiculously amused that I managed to write a post that had 24 comments before I even got round to looking at it again - and it's about Brussels sproutsIf you had Christmas dinner today, what was it? Richard & I did roast beef, roast seitan, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings (normal & vegan), roast parsnips, carrots, white cabbage, baby corn ( Read more... )
