seven down, two to go

i was convinced yesterday was wednesday. it's quite easy to lose track of days, months and weeks when i work this many days in a row, but trust me, it's not something that's going to feature in next year's calendar.

i *think* i'm all ready for christmas apart from a big food shop. the bakings done, presents bought, wrapped and under the tree, all my christmas cards have been distributed, parcels arrived long ago in canada...

now i just have to finish up work. davoud's coming up here on thursday night until christmas morning and then we're going to head to his mum's for christmas dinner (insert deep cleansing breath to alleviate nerves here).

with any luck i should have a phone line by friday morning so i will no longer have to neglect my transatlantic phone calls, but i'll keep you posted on that one.
