well - i'm just about to go to my BSL (british sign language) christmas party where i get the delight of signing 'rudolf the red nosed reindeer' to my boss of all people! at least i really enjoy bsl and i'm looking forward to practising it over christmas with my friend nick. the weekend is close and even closer now that i have a day off tomorrow (thurs) - hooray! i shall be spending it as a lady of leisure - lunching out and dropping round to friends for coffee.

rob and abigail are coming round for tea tonight and andy and i have created some culinary delights for them! mmmmmmmmm...
