Well the Christmas Week started off pretty badly, first day on the job for the final tour of duty at SicroMoft and there's a problem with the host server, just as well probably as I was given an emergency call by autumnthingto rescue the wendy-bus from outside Costco in Woodinville. In the hours that had ensued since she failed the battery had evidently revived itself.  I had had the forethought to take the Focus to work as my contour is playing, some scarey wobbley wheel problem that causes the steering wheel to wobble from side to side unless one is hurtling down the road at speed. I suspect a CV joint or Shock Absorber has finally given up and much to my chagrin and dismay I shall have to spend some money on the car.  So Monday, whilst I was supposed to be working I was cruising the streets of Snohomish and Woodinville in vehicle and person recovery mode. Thanks be to the AAA vehicle recovery service. Wendy's alternator seems to be on the fritz. When I awoke this morning my phone was filled with SMS greetings, which was nice, it is a good job that I put it on semi silent mode overnight!

Right now I am listening to the Classic FM All time Christmas Greats  watching candles flickering and the tree resplendent in all her decorations, tinsel and lights and Matthew is messing with his new MP3 player I got him for Xmas, which seems to be delighting him.

We are waiting for Jasper before we open all the rest of the presents. Nothing quite like a little chap ripping open the paper!
