Still here……

…..but not got a lot to say at the moment.

I could rant about losing one of my silicone ear buds for my Apple in Ear headphones.  But I’ve called Apple and they appear to be sending me a complete set of headphones (ones with remote and microphone) free of charge.  Which I cannot explain, surely it would be more cost effective to actually produce and sell replacement silicone ear buds.  Still can’t complain if they turn up.

Though is this is attempt 2, as the first attempt resulted in being sent ear buds for the older in ear headphones, which I’ve not seen around for years.  So maybe a mini complaint there then.

So Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat, or me in fact.  Bloody lack of will power with regards to the plethora of chocolates around everywhere at the moment.  Still I did have a starvation day last week.  Well, when I say day I mean 36 hours.  Had a McBreakfast on Thursday then went for a meal at Akbars (Formally grab-a-granny-Liberties) on Friday night.

Anyway I haven’t got much to say at the moment, so no posts/photos about snow, mainly as I’ve not taken any.  Other than a few Twitpic shots of the incoming snowstorm on Thursday.  But they’re Twitpic/iphone shoots so the technical quality is well, crap.

So this is Christmas and what have we done, not a lot to be honest.  Just got older and probably not any more wiser.  To be fair I’ve done well with the lack of swearing on the blog this year.  Other than the odd ‘crap’  I don’t think there’s been anything else.  Not to say I’ve had a no sweary year, I haven’t.  Just I’ve not posted such profanities here.  Next year may change, but at the moment I see no reason to do so.  Mind you I’m apparently joining the ops team next year (and soooooooo happy to do so) so maybe the swearing may have to be re-evaluated probably the first week in January.

Achievements this year:

Almost finished the loft, up here now.  Currently 17 degrees Celsius, so not exactly hot.

Photographed a wedding – probably my last tbh.

Avoided Big Brother.

That’s about it so far.

Disappointments this year:

Cruelly overlooked by Camelot with the lottery, lady luck certainly has sodded off.

Managed to have my 24-105 f/4 L die on my this year.

Not done a lot photographically (though, still had my most productive year).

Not finishing the loft.

Not putting a heating solution in the loft.

So that’s your lot for tonight.
