I'm off to Kent now to spend Christmas with my Dad and my Gran. I realise that leaving at 5pm on the Friday before Christmas weekend isn't really ideal - I've spent today catching up on the work that was due before Christmas that I should have done last week. Slightly irritating thing is that it's apparently now not needed until the first or second week of January - still, I wasn't to know that.
Gah! Why is it that Windows Unison only ever fails in the middle of a sync when I'm in a hurry? *click click click* that's better.
Anyway, I will hopefully be back over the weekend with my instructions for Christmas dinner - so if you'll be cooking that, check back to read them!
I anticipate that you will need:
- Prepared turkey breast in a tin with stuffing
- Prepared sausages wrapped in bacon
- Potatoes and parsnips
- Broccoli, runner beans, brussel sprouts
- Additional vegetarian options for foolish vegetarians
- Gravy
So get shopping!
If you've got a fun and busy weekend planned and I won't see you before, have a Happy Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS - It's nearly time for Santa's annual visit!!
Glossary:
Land of Oz Australia
Kiwi Native bird unique to NZ - ordinarily unable to fly
Hangi Traditionally cooked in the ground on heated river stones (Maori)
All Blacks NZ rugby team
The jolly old man, all dressed in red; from the North Pole he will fly
His reindeer now in perfect form to traverse across the sky.
The lands from down and very under; 'neath starry skies they wait
The much awaited yearly visit, from their dear old northern mate.
When he reaches the Land of Oz there's a very beaky scout
He's there to lead the reindeer; he carries a lot of clout.
Good heavens, did you see that? It's a Kiwi up ahead!
Flying in front of the reindeer; leading the sleigh with the man in red!
A "Ho! Ho!" sounds across the skies from the jolly old man of fun
The Kiwi flies to the Southern Cross; to the land of the rising sun.
Summer time is the season; of the southern hemisphere
And Santa sure begins to feel, the heat as he's drawing near.
A mighty cheer meets his covered ears; it's mums and dads below
They have had their full of Christmas "cheer" and the booze is running low.
The hangi; it went down a treat; the All Blacks did the haka
They wave to our scout Kiwi; who provided the magic marker.
Santa lands the sleigh upon a roof; a roof of corrugated tin
Unlike a roof in a northern house; it makes an almighty din.
He delivers the children's presents; made by the elves at the Pole
Then partakes of the "cheer" from a bottle of beer; he's a merry, merry, merry old soul!
By the time he calls at the very last house his "cheer"; it runneth over
With his cheeks bright pink and his nose aglow; he's northbound now, moreover.
Having left his scout called Kiwi in the land of the rising sun
He completes his yearly mission; in the northern hemisphere run.
Next time you see old Santa, think of the miles he flies
From the North Pole to the South Pole; and home before the sun does rise.
He doesn't have a union; to bargain his long night hours
Nor pesky local councils; ticketing the sleigh; those excessive powers.
All is done in the name of love; to impart some Christmas joy
Nothing to do with politics or some conspiracy ploy.
Santa wants you to enjoy your Christmas; the Kiwi scout does too
A Merry Merry Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
