Holiday!

Crikey, but I'm ready for a break.

It's been a real slog at work, with looming redundancies leaving me in more or less sole charge of the payroll systems at one of the busiest times of the year with year-end and new on-line forms to implement. I've been fighting off a cold for the last week and finally crashed out yesterday, sleeping for most of the day.

I feel a bit better today, and have had my feet up playing GTA : San Andreas which is still as good as I remember from four years ago. I even managed to breeze through the most infuriatingly tricky mission in the game (the one with the pesky remote control biplanes) with only three attempts. The other bit of games news was the swappage of my old DS for a brand spanking new DSi which is luvverly. The larger screens really do make a world of difference, and the built in cameras and new wifi capabilities are nifty too. Jan also got me the new Puzzle Quest : Galactrix game as a surprise which is as addictive as the old one, and the hex based screen makes the puzzles an order of magnitude more complex. Aces!

I am looking forward to celebrating the whole zombie stick man festival with due reverence by watching Doctor Who and drinking beer - hurrah!
