And so another Christmas Day is consigned to the history books and the memory banks. The recycling bin is full of wrapping paper, the kitchen bin is full of turkey bones and my stomach is full of just about everything edible ever invented by man. I have been enjoying this season of over-indulgence to its limits. Been a bit of a downer being at work today, after spending three days locked away on that wonderful island called ’Christmas,‘ but it’s been quite quiet and everyone’s been in a pleasant mood so the time has passed fairly quickly. It’s much nicer being on the garage side of the business than it was when I was over on the floor of the store. People seem to lose their minds shopping after Christmas just as much as they lose it in the run-up. It makes it less painful to come to work over festive days when I’m not in the middle of that maelstrom. I also have access to iPlayer on my office computer so I’ve managed to catch up with a few Christmas specials that I’d missed by being busy putting things in my mouth. Doctor Who was a bit disappointing and I have to say the Mrs Browns Boys joke has worn a bit thin now, but I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ and I look forward to seeing Part 2 tomorrow. I’m only at work til lunchtime so I’ll have to fit it in somewhere between opening up the forecourt pumps and nipping over to the supermarket café for breakfast….
