Christmas la la la la la!

Oooooh, what a to-do. I'm currently in the bosom of my family (well, at my sister's - still family I suppose!), though yesterday was a bit of a trauma! Having gone out early on the bike and spent at least 5 hours going all over the place (including Salisbury, Ringwood, back to Salisbury and other ickle villages in Wiltshire), something cracked on my bike and all the electrics gave out! Aaargh! Could be either a discharged battery due to some odd alternator job, or a blown fuse. I didnt have time to check in out because a) I was in the middle of nowhere near Romsey; b) it was half three and about to get pitch black. So I had run her down the hill and abandon her in the car park of a pub with a friendly landlord. It being Xmas eve and LATE I couldnt do anything about it! So I had to leave it (sob! - hits me a bit) and run to the station to try and get a train. Suddenly realising Iactually recognised the street and looking up - bang! Justin's at the window and I give him a wave. No doubt he thought I was absolutely crazy but helped out somewhat - thankyou! Much stewing and panicking done on the train trip, but I've accepted the fact that there's nothng I can do till people get back up to speed after the holidays.

Quick nip home - no washing, eugh sweaty - and then turned around and rushed out again to catch train up to London and to sisters. Having a nice chilled time, mucho foodo and many nice text messages from people, thankyou all. Have to face the prospect of moving next week AND sorting out transport probs, AND finding place to live. Ah well, we'll see!

Nearly the end of the year - looking forward to 2006!
