I titled this post as a place holder with the above, but I quite liked it when I started writing so I’ve left the placeholder title in. Sometimes the first thing you write is the thing you like. I did try a couple of other titles, but I liked this one best. Bit of a view into the workings of the blog there.
Merry Fucking Christmas! Have that. No idea why that was so aggressive, but I am finishing work today and then I’m off for two whole weeks. And I’m possibly a little overexcited about it. I’ve got a full two weeks off and as I always say, Christmas is a time I can properly switch off because our customers don’t want to know and our suppliers are shut.
Christmas for me, in a non-religious way, is a time of togetherness and joy. I get to see family and relax, eat some good food and play board and card games. I don’t worry too much about the time, I just go to bed when I’m tired. I have no idea what day of the week it is because it doesn’t matter. I can actually relax. I don’t wear a watch and I won’t wear my new-fangled ring and I turn off my emails and generally leave my phone in places and I then forget where it is.
I want to thank you all again for continuing to come back and read my drivel. This is a great outlet for me and it always makes me smile when someone randomly mentions the blog. Thank you.
To be a Grinch for one second. I’ve had enough of organisations and people parodying Love Actually. Fucking stop it. It’s a shit movie with a shit message and we need to stop using it as a vehicle to promote other shit and perpetuating it’s shitness. Fucking pack it in.
Look at how cute this guy is below with his reindeer. With thanks once again from the gremlins at ChatGPT.
And so I am signing off for this year, no post next week. I hope you have a relaxing and wonderful Christmas and a joyous New Year, even if I can’t stand that particular evening. See you in 2025.
