Christmas break 2005

Christmas Day: My uncle and his gf have a baby. Cousin Mia is born at about 0630hrs. She isn't the first Christmas Day baby, but was close.

Boxing Day: Traditional local rugby derby; traditional hammering. Traditional post rugby drinks with Coops, Drewsy, Hels, Tom and Wes; traditionally hammered.

Tuesday: Sleep. Watch Nick the Fish at the Fort. Distinctly average.

Friday: Pub lunch with Coops and Drewsy. Big roast, although disappointing lack of 'bacon thingies'.

New Year's Eve: Stay home for the first time in 12 or so years. Act as taxi for my parents so they can drink whilst they're out.

Rest of the time was spent: tormenting the animals at the cottage; reading; writing; doing the puzzles in the WMN; and watching Fight Club on British Eurosport.
