a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

Please, feel free to comment - you know you want to.

God, I hate putting lights up for Christmas. I just spent half an hour with this Christmas light net thing trying to work out how best to hang the damn... errr... thing. Eventually I settled on having the end from which the power cable and pattern-changer-control-clicker-thing emerges at the top, which means that the PCCCT is hanging half way down the window and I've had to run an extension lead to the window specifically for them!

I tried it the other way round (upside-down) and it just wasn't working - it looked shite - so I gave up on that as a bad idea and went, instead, for the "looks better but is annoyingly awkward" method. I do believe that's what Christmas is all about, actually.

I can't see me having anything even remotely interesting to write in here for a while but if the situation changes I shall let you know at once. In here. In fact, I won't let you know - you'll see it for yourself. It should be obvious if anything interesting happens because it'll stand out like Rudolph's nose against the bleakness and tedium of the rest of this blog. You can tell I'm filled with the festive spirit, can't you?

Oh... I got my card too. My bank card. No others though. Not today. Poor lonely little otter. *sniffle*
