Well, I survived the Family Christmas whatsit reasonably unscathed. Am far too tired to write anything especially illuminating right now, and have a friend coming to visit tomorrow who I haven't seen for two years, so need to get some sleep in order to be able to make the flat presentable (not that it isn't presentable now, assuming you're hosting the Annual Chaos Awards).
Family not TOO barking, although my mother's aptitude for turning absolutely anything into an argument continues apace - she seems to have managed to take all the intermediate steps out, on the assumption that both my father and I are feckless idiots, completely incapable beyond the ability of a fairly dim chimp, and that she is going to have to do everything round here for not a word of thanks but never mind.
Saw some friends too, which was good - nothing overly exciting.
Now to try and relax a bit before going bak to work on the 4th, and the inevitable effects of the big boss having had time to think about the true meaning of some of the things I said in my speech at the firm's Christmas Dinner...
Hence yawn...
