I have just un-Christmassed the house (apart from the pine needles all over the hall floor).    :thumbsup:

We didn't bother to Christmas ours in the first place, thereby saving effort.
Ditto.  :thumbsup:

Likewise, although that's more to do with there being only me and the cat to appreciate it, and he'd "appreciate" it by climbing / hanging from anything he could possibly wreck. ;D

I'm having a post Sainsburys shopping, coffee and cookie break (these are actually USAian style cookies, otherwise it would be a coffee and biscuit break).
Actually, it is rocket science.

Putting off ironing my first shirts for a fortnight by thinking about what to order at the curry house tonight.

Planning my contigency 200 for January. A very very dull out and back to Scotch Corner Services or Barton Truck Stop. Wondering how I can find out which bridges over the A1(M) are not there now and if any new ones have been provided.

Nah - just in the garden rebuilding rotten bits of the shed. Back on the fixed down the A584 on Tuesday  ;D - hand tendons are now operating as they were designed to! I won't say what other side effects the steroids had though.  :-X

Worrying about the boys.  They rang me to tell me they were walking home an hour and a half ago.
Normally takes 1 hour 15 max. 
They'll be OK.  Snow and ice takes longer.  They've both got phones and they'll tell me off if I phone them.  ::-)

Fridge curry is simmering gently.  :P
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

At least they haven't had a three-day lock in.

Just had a phone call instructing me to put "vast quantities of rice on". 
They're just on Top Corner.  :thumbsup:

Making alternative travel arrangements for tomorrow's trip to Glasgow.  I was going to travel from King's Cross up the Eact Coast Mainline (super-cheap tickets) but service is looking crappe and the train is terminating in Edinburgh.  (Yes, Embra is nice, and I'll be there Thursday, but need to be in Glasgow Wednesday).  At least Virgin's Pendolinos are better than the usual rolling stock here in the UK.
;D  Andrij.  I pronounce you Complete and Utter GIT   :thumbsup:

We are doing a Fridge Curry too. It's got turkey in it.

Sitting on the sofa with a mug of hot lemonade, a mug of cup a soup and a doorstep of homemade bread, watching the children over the road clearing the snow off every car in the street to escalate the snowball fight :D.

Getting changed out of my cycling kit, and back into my "normal" clothes, so I can get the tube and tram home.  When I got on my bike, I found that the front brake block has just worn down enough that a hard application of the brake makes the cartridge holder hit the rim.  Since that way leads towards (i) poor braking and (ii) a rapidly knackered rim, I've retraced my tracks.

So, changing into and back out of cycling clothes, plus walking to the bike sheds, unlocking and locking the bike, mounting and unmounting the lights etc all for nowt.  Bah. >:(
Actually, it is rocket science.

I've got spare blocks, but for the Kaffenback, and I was on the Pompino.

Lesson: Carry the correct brake blocks.

On the plus side, I've never seen the Tube or Trams so empty.  There was no problem getting a seat.  I was almost by myself in the carriage on the tube.

Ah.  Yes, that was my mistake.  I've carried canti blocks with me everywhere.  Even on the road bike, when I needed a block for a sidepull :-[
