.....all about life

today has proved both interesting and productive. have finished the 70th birthday dvd for christine's mam (and other family) and it looks great. it's been a bit of a learning curve cos have never used the macbook for such a project but have managed to put together slideshows and movies from the 70th birthday weekend trip to center parcs that we had..... and it looks great ....some slight flaws but i'm just learning.

new mens fitness magazine arrived so as ever lots to think about!!! including how to have a non weight gain christmas. had our room christmas lunch and secret santa today and i ate too much fatty food and felt sick. my secret santa present was a girlie calender!! lingerie and very tasteful (yeah right). what do my colleagues think of me!! that i'm a middle aged perv!! well you can be the judge ;-)

been for a 3.2 mile run tonight - managed about 8 minute miles which is canny for me

looking forward to christmas. i think i might have finally grown up because this is the first year i haven't produced a christmas list for santa!! it should be fun though, having some time off will be good and also off the first week of the new year - just me and luke that week i think. christine's mam is over from christmas eve, my mam and dad are here for christmas day tea (turkey sandwiches) and jonathan is over boxing day (i think - well he usually is but nothing confirmed yet)

spoke to karl today and felt guilty that i'd not made the effort to see him and alex in the run up to christmas - just been so busy - but all will be well i'm sure - quite excited about the general direction of travel for jimmy two times with plans afoot to get a female singer on board
