The Windy Gap

There’s nothing like an environmental disaster to make for a lovely sunset. The actual sunset was gorgeous but I didn’t get to take a photo as I was standing in a petrol station at the time “panic buying” (wasn’t really panic buying – I use a tank every two days to get up and down from Cambridge and was filling up for today – although when I managed to fit 37 litres into what-I-thought-was-a 30 litre tank it did look a tad panicky).

Crikey – 10 day blog gap! Ok, what have I been up to… Last week I was doing large animal experience (my probably-last ever – weird) in Cambridge. It’s ok but now I’ve decided my life is smallies, I don’t have the enthusiasm I used to for largies. Like I chose to persue animals as a job and computing as a hobby, I plan to persue smallies as a job and largies as a hobby. I think my lack of enthusiasm may be a little obvious. So that was my week – didn’t see my house in daylight what with leaving at 7am, getting back at 7pm minimum. I can’t tell you the fun thing I did on Saturday with AnM (oo-er) though we can snigger about it until Christmas. On Sunday the tree went up (yay!). My camera has run out of batteries so instead of a photo of the tree of 2005 I shall show you a photo of the tree of 2004, which given that it’s the same tree (fake of course – fake all the way!) , the same decorations and the tinsel and chain in the yes I am in a rut same positions, it gives you a fairly accurate idea of the tree of 2005. The only difference is that this year we have dispensed with the slightly tasteless foil decs seen in the window (and previously also all over the house) and the new decs on the tree are the cute fimo stockings AnM made the whole family last year, and a glass bauble painted on the inside that was a late gift from Kay last year also. Plus I have a little rememberance thing to add for the “ancestors” later on. Oh and I haven’t put the purple baubles on this year – decided to stick to silver decs only.

My Dad just brought my car in from the road for me – that was sweet!

So today I was back in Cambridge, and I’ll continue there for another week. It’s so coooold. So coooooold. Blasted fens have no trees and hills, man! It’s unnatrual! Then it’s officially the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS!!! woooo! Sleigh bells ring, are you list’ning, out in space, stars are glist’ning. A beautiful sight, now we’re in flight, flying in the Starship Enterprise!
