Still Here just Haven't Posted for a While
Last weekend I threw a huge Christmas dinner, which was great fun. Six courses, of which we only ate five because I simply had too much food. During the fruit and cheese (the last one we managed), I came to the conclusion that lavender honey makes every cheese in the world taste Even Better. However, this effect was most noticeable upon the red cranberry Stilton. I did not even think I would _like_ the Stilton.
Just goes to show how wrong preconceptions can be. I am really looking forward to Christmas break this year. Work has been tough lately, but for a good reason. I got a lateral promotion/transfer to a different department to pursue doing very highly technical, cutting-edge simulation. This is very good news, and something I was asking for - but I had two whole days of training and don't have much support from the previous person who did the work. So, it is a mad scramble to Learn on the Job at the moment.
My friends are all terrific people who are always willing to lend me a hand or give me a pat on the back when I really need it, though, so life is definitely on the improve these last few years. This really has helped me avoid the usual soul-crushing Holiday Blues this year. AT least, so far. (crosses fingers) I am invited to a friend's house in Deer Park for Xmas Eve, then to best friend's house on Xmas itself. This is a great thing, as spending the days alone are Not My Idea of Wonderful.
