Well, despite a run in with the lurgi, I've survived Christmas and New Year.
The work Christmas do, was terrible. The food was pretty rubbish. Out of all the choices, I seem to have lucked out. The started of duck spring rolls was nice enough, but could have come from Farmfoods or Iceland. The steak I had was decent enough, but again I lucked out, as I take my steak medium, and there was no choice about how you could get it prepared other than medium or order something else. Not good. When it came to desserts, I went for cheesecake, which I always do if it's an option. Just as well, as the chocolate fudge cake others got must have been lying out for a while, as it had started to dry up.
I didn't hang about for the disco, instead I went for a wander and caught up with a couple of friends for a drink.
Onto the holidays themselves, and there was eating and drinking and visiting friends, and playing boardgames. We also managed to work through the entire season 1 of Game of Thrones, which was excellent.
I rounded off the holidays by going to see the Hobbit, which was rather good, even it if has been padded out with some bits from other Tolkien books. I mean it's a short book, and they're stretching it out to a trilogy! Not that I'm complaining. More escapist time in Middle Earth for me, so that's all to the good.
And now, sad to say, I haven't won the lottery, so it's back to work.
