Oh yeah, I’ve got a blog...

Hullo.

First off, I hope everyone out there in Blogland had a lovely Christmas doing all the things one does on Christmas day. My family sort of celebrate Christmas over two days; Christmas day is spent here, just the four of us and then we get to see more family on Boxing Day. Boxing Day This year we were at my Aunt and Uncle’s, which was pretty good fun. As I have previously mentioned on my Twitter page, my 85-year-old Grandmother beat my 25-year-old cousin at bowling on a Nintendo Wii. My Gran truly can do anything.

So here we are, in the no-man’s-land that is the week between Christmas and new year and I feel like I’ve done nothing since Christmas but eat. It’s hellish! I do have a drawer full of Toblerone products. Fair’s fair, there is a Chocolate Orange in there woo.

I’m saying my DVDs for the first two weeks of January since my folks are away and we’ll have the run of the television. So that’s The Simpsons series 11, the double Gavin Harrison DVD set (Check him out on YouTube!) Garth Jemming's Son Of Rambow and the complete set of little masterpiece’s that go by the name of R Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet series. It’s going to be great!

I’m still trying to sort out Wednesday. I’m going through to Edinburgh to annoy a friend (he doesn’t read this), but I need to figure out when I’m going, how I’m going to get there and what we’ll be doing when I arrive. I then have the tricky job of getting to Dunblane on the first of January, it will probably involve my Dad somewhere.
I was thinking about being simple and going to the big bonfire in Biggar, but then I remembered why I don’t really like it. You just smell of bonfire, and there’s nothing you can do about it. This sounds odd coming from a smoker, I know, but still. Grr. The last time I went they didn’t even light the fire; it was too wet and windy. And then we got home, found we had no power and a trampoline had blown through our next-door neighbors greenhouse. What a night!

Anyway, must go. I’m going to clear my bed so I can get into it and maybe watch a DVD. I still have Peter Jackson’s King Kong, Transformers: The [Animated] Movie and François Ozon’s Gouttes D'Eau Sur Pierres Brûlantes to watch.

Until next year, then. I will post about any high jinx that I get up to on the 31st. Who knows, there may even be photos if I can work out a good way to host them. And I remember my camera.
