Freedom

  Fully escaped from work yesterday afternoon. The day itself was one of those days that everybody has to be at work but nobody is really working, they are all ready for the time off coming up. Unfortunately it still didn't mean that I didn't get bothered about various things but I did manage to leave work for other people to do while I'm off. Hah.

  Now starts the doing what my wife and I want to for the next 11 days or so. All the presents are wrapped, food is ready and mostly prepared and any external obligations taken care of. In theory we should have the time to ourselves and the cats. That is a great thought.

  Got a quick trip out to the cinema again this morning, Jack Reacher this time and we should be able to get to the mall where the cinema is before it gets silly busy from last minute shoppers. Really hoping to avoid other people as much as possible this week, it was bad enough coming home Friday even leaving as early as I did. Lots of people heading off for Christmas and the roads around town were full as people dashed around doing stuff. Everyone had something to do and somewhere to be. It was the proverbial mad circus.

  So expect future blog updates full of details of food eaten, films watched, games played and general laziness partaken in.
