Came in to say that!

Vietnam, because I've drank an incredibly low amount in the last week compared to usual.

Closer to 40.

Penny Crayon, my lookalike.

No but that explains why there was horse shit everywhere this morning.

As a kid usually cereal (Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, Weetabix with a ton of sugar) or white toast during the week and bacon sandwich or eggy bread on weekends Now: Weetabix (skimmed milk), wholemeal toast or porridge during the week and either the same or poached eggs on toast at weekends I couldn't survive without breakfast. I wanted to get into work early today so brought porridge with me to have here, rather than taking the time to make it up at home, and thought I was going to die of starvation on the bus.

Yeah I really enjoyed that too. Thought the setting and the sound were done perfectly to build the atmosphere. Sherlock, on the other hand, was awful IMO.

Same here. Going out tomorrow with family & friends so can't be arsed doing much tonight.

Terribly sad news.

Elementary Also been watching: And Then There Were None, Toast of London, Sons of Anarchy. Got loads of stuff to get through while we're off work.

Merry Christmas to you all. Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Black sambuca.

Happy birthday.

I was about to say bullshit because it's raining in Killingworth then looked out the window and saw some snowy looking bits. Bastards.

I like the vast majority of my colleagues and get along well with them, have also made some great friends through work, but on the whole we tend to have different opinions on what constitutes a good night out so I don't do a great deal of work-based socialising.

Been meaning to read The Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged) for ages. For all I love reading I've got a horrendous record for classics, hardly touched any of them. I thought I might ask for it for Christmas in paperback but just downloaded it when I realised the Kindle version was 48p. Should keep me going for several months.

Thought it was just me who guffawed at that every time.

Ours was canny, far too much food mind. It was a hot buffet and they brought out beef stifado, rice, seabass, chicken wings, nachos, pigs in blankets, potato salad, few other things then a while later loads of turkey, carrots, broccoli and sprouts which barely got touched and loads of it got canned. Was alreet though, and was away by half 7 without calling anyone a dickhead.

He claimed he'd eaten several large baked potatoes with tuna and had to lean out of the car to be sick, then managed to reverse over himself.

Ours is tonight. I'll go because it's at a new venue (The Gentleman, just opened on the Bigg Market which is near my work). I think we get a buffet and a few free drinks but it's only on until 8pm so I'll not be hanging round too long. Tragically though, it's Christmas Jumper Day at work so if anyone catches sight of us later it's going to look extremely "awkward work Christmas party" and the thought is making me cringe. I haven't got a Christmas jumper on, btw, but I am wearing Santa socks. I haven't been to a proper work party for years because I always seem to have other stuff on. Got my team's night out next Thursday at Sachins which I'm looking forward to a lot more. There's also a meal for our floor the following night but I'm not going to that as I have other plans.

Serial started again today.

My team leader has just joined a gym and went yesterday for a session with the trainer. She's in agony today.. I've warned her about tomorrow. I'm sadistic so I love some DOMS. I like mixing my routine up regularly just so my body can feel thoroughly broken in the days that follow something new.

Of course it's all about me.

That fire is a stone's throw from my old flat in Charlotte Mews.
