How Christmassy, Frodo is putting up his mini fibre optic Christmas tree in our window. Lovely jubbly.
In true Christmas spirit I've been frantically bidding on eBay for a particular hard-to-find Christmas present. Despite tripling the bid price in the last ten seconds, I lost out on my first try. Now I'm sitting here waiting for another 20 minutes to pass to bid on the next available version. More fun that high street shopping though, right?
It's not all fun and games, though, because it seems like every time I suggest to someone that we do something they conveniently have a Christmas dinner to go to. How much turkey can some people eat? Never mind, I had my own dinner to go to this evening, with our very own Vice Chancellor. It was lovely and informal, it is nice to have senior management we can chat to casually. And there was absolutely delicious lemon cheesecake. I took a slice away wrapped in cling film, although Frodo mashed it because he's a meany. No more eBay presents for him.
