Almost Christmas

  Well it is almost Christmas again. Given how organised my wife is we have everything is pretty much ready to go. Food has been acquired, presents have been bought, decorations are now up and Christmas cards have been sent. We have even gotten the cold weather now (like really cold, below freezing cold) and might get a day or two of snow although I doubt it will hang around.

  Still it means we can have a great Christmas of food, sweets, loot and good time together. My wife and I have had Christmas on our own together for most of our marriage. Pretty much since we moved to the USA and escaped our families. Only 3 weeks to go now until a day of gluttony :) .

  Life around here has been fairly normal. Archer has completely settled in now, he gets along with us and the other cats with no problems and treats here as his home as he should. He is also easy to tempt on the sofa, just put down a soft fleece blanket and he will jump up and curl up on the blanket. He won't use the cat baskets at all it seems but give him a nice blanket to lay on and he will spend hours there. Also considering his age he plays quite a bit and gives the girls a run for there money when they get rowdy. He is turning in to a pleasure to have around.

  In other stuff my wife is recovering from the burn on her hand nicely now. The dead skin has all peeled off and the new skin is growing and healing. It should be back to normal soon which is nice considering how big of a burn it was. The way some people panic over the slightest injury it really makes me wonder what it would take for my wife to have to go to the emergency room. True I don't bother going to the doctor for anything much either but some people must really go for the stupidest small injury the way they talk about things.

  One final important piece of news, I managed to get my 20th platinum trophy over the weekend. Woo me huh? Sure some people have loads but I never thought I would get this many given that I really don't play games for the huge amounts of time that some other people seem to. Also since I got a deal on Playstation Plus I now have a load of "free" games that I can play in the run up to Christmas. I've tried a couple and they are pretty good if not as great as some games. Not a bad thing considering how cheap I got them for and I managed to get a couple of PS4 games for free with this as well. It will be nice to see what other games come along in the future with this.
