I'm sorry to hear that mate. Fivo lost his dog today as well.

I guess I won't be headed into London after all. The friend I was planning on meeting up with got the wrong idea. I'll probably just end up with a load of vodka and whine about the state of the world on vent

My work here is done. 

Umm let's see. Closest bar is about 50 miles from here, and the whole area is pretty much shut down to begin with. Most the bars/clubs/shops/stores are seasonal and won't reopen until about May. I could sit in front of my PC all day and drink on the 25th too, but mine's broken, so it'll be a totally different experience if I do that. New PC has been ordered, but it looks like it won't ship until Jan 4th...I'm not gonna make it 'til then.
The house is going to be full of relatives from the 24th to about the 26th so I'm pretty sure I'll have my hands full. Making a run to the liquor store tomorrow to insure that I survive the holiday. 

As for New Years', I'm usually tending bar, I have no idea what to do this year. Maybe I'll go drinking with the ducks.

Elijah fell off of a 15 ft high bridge on Sunday, now his arm is in a cast.  They are suppose to go to their dad's on the 29th now if he doesnt mess that up too.  So after that I'm sleeping until they come home.
