reflections on the past few days


Happy Christmas all! 
I’m never sure when you’re supposed to stop saying ‘Happy Christmas.’ You wouldn’t wish someone a happy birthday three days after the actual date, but Christmas is a TIME of celebration rather than just one day, so why not still send seasons greetings and best wishes up to and including December 28th? Whether you agree or not, I’ve done it now, so there we are. 
What a great few days we’ve had!
My stomach, digestive tract and liver all feel as if they’ve been taken out of my body, run over by Santa with his full collection of reindeer and entire sleigh full of presents, and then forced back into me with a shoehorn. I may have to consider a diet soon. Well - not too soon. It is my birthday later in January so it would be silly to try and eat and drink healthily until after then, right?
In big ‘what I got for Xmas’ news - my beloved, beautiful, brilliant fiancee Philippa bought me A FRICKING DRUMKIT!!! She said that now we’re settled in a detached house and it’s got a garage that’s big enough she’s more than happy for me to smash the hell out of some skins in the evening while she watches girly television! I was so stunned I cried! Stunned that she managed to keep it a secret; stunned that she managed to have it delivered and hide it while I was out of the house at work; and stunned that she’s actually confident that I’ll stick to my drumming and it won’t have been a waste of money! She really is a star. She’s so thoughtful and loving. She took a day off work last week so she could have it delivered while I was out, and even had the guy from the music shop set it up and test it.
Suddenly that engraved necklace I bought her seems like a cheapo piece of shit.
