not just for the children

It's the last weekend of November, and it's the first time I've woken up on a Saturday feeling like it's a proper weekend. I have finally got used to my new routine and accepted that I really do have two days off in a row each week. A marvellous, marvellous thing to feel, and one that I know many of you will have as a regular occurrence, but many others of you will never get to experience, so I shan't go on about it, except to say that it feels great today.
In other news, we are popping out to buy Mathew his advent calendar today. He seems to have developed an obsessive infatuation with Spider-Man at the moment, so we're looking for something suitable, while also being aware that his little obsessive infatuations tend to only last about a week before being replaced by something completely different, but equally as all-encompassing (I wonder where he gets that from???). So there's a chance he may get to December 7th and not be bothered about opening any more of the windows.
But we'll deal with that if it happens.
Personally, I'm on the lookout for a Toblerone one, despite the constant onslaught of comments from my wife like, "aren't you too old for an advent calendar now?"
