Happy Hogswatch, and to all, a good night
Dec. 26th, 2007 12:13 amChristmas good. Not quite stuffed, have Torchwood boxset (my squeeing and big eyes and grabby hands and stroking it probably indicated that it was much appreciated), a Mr. Happy hot water bottle cover, a terribly fashionable scarf, Aveda smellies, a book, some jewellery and some chocolate. Plus theatre tokens.
Got blindsided at the neighbourhood drinkies by the combination of no alcohol tolerance due to the previous few days' flu and their concept of a 'small' G'n'T. Where you could smell the gin from three feet away and I asked for an extra tonic after sipping it, then went from sober to drunk in about five minutes. Fortunately sobered up after about half an hour (and spent most of the drunk portion leaning against a table or on a sofa) and did nowt embarassing. So, that's up there with blood donation on 'let this be a warning to you'.
Dr Who, which we shall label as 'Poseidon adventure in Space with added Kylie' (which all of family crowded into rather small study to watch after dinner) was squeed and giggled and groaned at and abuse was hurled at Russell's tendency to over-egg some stuff by the bro's gf, Kylie was sighed over, and amused looks exchanged by parents when the Torchwood trailer came on and I started making squeaking noises from my position in the corner between the filing cabinet and the sofa. (I kid you not when I say the study is *small* - gf and mum on the sofa, dad on the computer chair, bro on floor in front of sofa to complete the rest of the picture). Lots of 'It's Kylie, *dammit*'. Also me going 'oh, I hope the tosser doesn't get killed'.
Watched Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, in which Darren Gough just pipped Gethin to the post. Letitia did a great job, Mark Ramprakash simply too stiff, Ayesha and Matt were having fun but clearly not brilliant, Matt Di Angelo was ... :gulp: but Gethin and Darren simply wiped the floor since Gethin and Camilla's waltz just *floated* and Darren and Lilya's American Smooth was like watching choreographed Tiggers bounce.
And then sighed and giggled and wiped tears during Love Actually. Plus read all the Singin' in the Rain and Narnia offerings for this year on yuletide.
