Oh, and another thing...

Yay!
Topic: Stephen Says Guess who's going to Egypt? Now that I'm not sick any more, I'm feeling especially chipper and efficient and have booked us for a week in Luxor in March. Happyness ensues. I've also booked tickets to see Sarah Kane's Blasted performed entirely with actors with physical disabilities next week but the Egypt thing is far more exciting. I will untie Elisabeth and let her out of the airing closet sometime in the near future so that she can blog again.

Hmm...
Topic: Stephen Says 2007 may be the year of not too much blogging. At least it seems to be starting off that way. Tim & Vicki have left after a blow out involving much too much alcohol (At least for Tim & myself) and the rather grim discovery of a couple of syringes on the landing of our flat. Our handy-dandy neighbour got in touch with the police about it as Woking becomes even classier. Speaking of Woking, I stumbled across this website which is a guide to Woking from the perspective of a cat. I don't really know what to say about it except oh... my... God.

Crap.
Topic: Stephen Says I did get sick after all. Woke up at 6AM during my sleep in with a sore throat and feeling spaced out. Foolishly chose to work 'till 6 after being offered the chance to go home at 10AM. Got home with no food in the flat after only eating a cheese pizza for breakfast all day and realized I'd forgotted that Elisabeth, who has agreed to go grocery shopping, was at the Y-Pod so I resorted to eating chunks of cheese and some little Swedish almond cookies. When Elisabeth did get back, she'd forgotten sauce for the eagerly anticipated pita pizzas so I spazzed out; we ate some grilled cheese instead and I went to bed at 8PM. Woke up at 2:30, couldn't sleep, went back to bed at 5AM and slept 'till 9:30 and am feling slightly more human. Elisabeth got her brand new super computer last night as well so it's probably for the best that I went to bed to give her the chance to play around with it. Expect more CD's to come out shortly as a result.

Happy New Year?
Topic: Stephen Says Hope y'all had a good New Years! Our plan: To bike 30 minutes in the rain to Byfleet, party it up until just after midnight in a (semi)responsible way and then bike back home in the rain so that I'd be fresh for working the late shift on the first of January. The reality: Elisabeth's cold was still in full effect so she had a snooze to re-energize at 5PM. At 6:30, she rang to say we wouldn't be coming. We played a game on Monopoly for old times sake (Still can't bear to dust off the good ol' Game of Life) and then she went to bed and left me to binge drink alone until midnight where I was too uncoordinated to send a bulk text out to people and then staggered to bed. The good news: Her cold lifted yesterday morning. A lovely coincidence that it was also her first day back at work which, as far as I'm aware, equals a pretty sucky Christmas holiday. Me: I'm holding my breath that her cold has passed me by because I don't feel like being sick. That said, if I do get sick it means that I'll get to use up some of my sick days so I'm not holding my breath very hard.

And now for these short messages
Topic: Stephen Says Well, well, well. Looks like the busy holiday season has temporarily put the blog to sleep. It’s been a couple of busy weeks what with the Christmas party season directly conflicting with the arrival of Tim & Vicki which, in my case at least, led to being very busy, staying up past my bedtime and going above the legal alcohol limit for driving a few times. They had barely left when we had to organize ourselves to head down south to spend a lovely and quiet Christmas with my family where Elisabeth promptly got sick and lost her voice. Since we’ve been back, I’ve been back at work, Elisabeth is still struggling with her cold (Though Champaign & organic Chardonnay is helping her along better than any pills seem to have done) and we’ll be biking to a New Years party this evening where we will be well behaved because I’ve got to work tomorrow. So that’s it for the re-cap. It’s been a pleasant two weeks with lots of good food and drink being (mostly) consumed in moderation. No New Year de-tox for us! As for me, not too many New Years resolutions. Other that the usual ones to get more healthy, I’ve actually started to use a diary to keep track of things and over my past 5 day trial, it’s been pretty good and I’m more on the ball with doing things. Will it last into February, though? We’ll see… Happy New Year to all ( Or, happy Eid al-Adha, if you’re so inclined) and your regularly scheduled programme will resume after the holidays.

Happy Holidays....
Mood: happy Topic: Elisabeth's Entries A half-day today for Elisabeth, and 1 shift for Stephen on Saturday, and then we are offically on our way to Christmas! Yay! I hope all of you are enjoying this festive season, and like me have eaten way too much chocolate, cheese and booze. Wednesday my company took the team to Foxhills golf club for a mid-day feast. In our cosy private room set with oil paintings and a roaring fireplace, we drank champagne at 12:30 in the afternoon, exchanged presents, and ate a delicious meal. I got back to work around 4:30, and tried to not slur my words on the phone. Some very thoughtful person brought Galler chocolates to the office, and I'm sorry Stephen, but I've fallen in love with a tin of cocoa, butter and sugar. And a very Happy 5th Anniversary to Mark & Jenn (on the 21st)-- we hope you wined and dined in style. There are rumblings we will take a weekend trip to Brussels in Jan/Feb...anyone got any tips/suggestions? Drink, eat, and be merry one and all...

Sunny Sunday
Mood: happy Now Playing: BBC Radio ONE! Topic: Elisabeth's Entries Tim & Vicki departed by train yesterdy for the English Riviera (that's Cornwall, if you weren't aware). We had a lovely visit, albeit short as Stephen & I were working most of the time, and are looking forward to seeing them again in the new year. It's been sunny this weekend, and we're just trying to catch up on sleep and preparations for xmas and stuff. Otherwise, not much to report.

Slinking Around
Mood: incredulous Topic: Elisabeth's Entries Last night Stephen's work Christmas party brought 3 drunken co-workers home last night, so 7 of us stayed at the flat, some with pillows & blankets, some not... 4 hours of sleep later and we're all up and going to work. Needless to say...going to bed very soon. This evening, while Stephen was at work, Tim, Vicki & I made our way to Guildford for a scrumptious Tandori... it was very pretty with all the Christmas lights up at night. Good night..no more to say...
