Xmas is done or as near as damn it. We had a busy Xmas day with 12 to feed. Jill worked until 3am, and then she got up, and we cooked the meal. A nice time was had by all except for the washing up afterwards. On Boxing day we went to her mothers for a buffet meal. Again she had to leave early for work.
I received some lovely presents including an I Pod nano, an Isle of Arran 10 yrs old single malt whiskey, some Glenmorangie, and tickets to see the Dads Army the stage show in Manchester at the Lowry Theatre, as well as other presents.
On Boxing day I was up at 5.30am to take my son Jordan to bradford, as he was reading the news on Pulse Radion at 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. He did the same today, so I was up early today.

TV and Shopping - Yawn
Today is my day off work.
This morning I was up at 5.30am, and went with my mate to do a short bit as an extra (walk on artist) for Emmerdale, a Yorkshire TV production in Leeds. I was a prison warder. Cannot say any more though.
Then it was back home and off to Morrisons to do the shopping for Christmas. It was pandemonium. Any-one would think we were going into seige conditions the amounts of food some people were buying. Still the shops open again on 27th December.
The news from the test was a little better. England 102 for 1, and then rain stopped play against Sri Lanka. I'm glad the test went ahead as this was the first test at Galle since the Tsunami.
This Data protection farce continues. The Skipton Building society has lost records of 15,000 customers, when a laptop was stolen from one of its staff. Its about time the Data Protection Registrar stepped in and started hitting some of these companies and agencies.
Nice little story in one of the papers, a chap rescued an injured bird, and the pidgeon now follows him everywhere, goes for rides in his car, won't let his wife near him (some chaps would be pleased about that, not me I hasten to add), sits on the side of his bath etc. Makes a change from rape allegations, and sordid party allegations, Oops, sorry Man Utd.

The Weekend and Beyond
Friday was a quiet day for me, no work. Saturday I worked, but the estate agents was quiet. sunday I went to Sheffield with Jill to meet my youngest son and his Japanese girlfriend at the railway station. They are with us over Xmas and New Year. On Saturday our eldest son bought a new car, a little Peugeot. He lives in Manchester.
The Europeans met the Africans in a big summit in Portugal. As usual alot of hot air, but not much will be achieved, the same as in Bali. There was lot of talk, but until we see some action, who knows.
Good win for Spurs on Saturday at Portsmouth. A vital three points. Hopefully they can start climbing up the table. England start the third test in Galle, Sri Lanka tomorrow. We visited there a few years ago, and its a lovely place, but the ground is a new one. A win badly needed.
