Beat Box (Close to the Edit)

Not much to report today, really.

After clearing up and hoovering the remaining detritus from yesterday, I settled down to playing a bit of Animal Crossing, snagging a complete set of Jingle furniture thanks to my extensive collection of hats and silly mustaches. It's an Animal Crossing thing, don't ask ...

Jamie then wrested control of the telly so he could go back to the 16th century to assassinate most of the inhabitants of Venice and surrounding areas, so I took solace in the simpler delights of Zelda : Spirit Tracks on my DSi. Oh, what a joyful game this is - pootling along train tracks in a steam engine and occasionally tooting the whistle to scare pigs off the track, combined with the usual dungeoneering and just enough of a twist on the mechanics to keep things fresh. If you have ever played any Zelda game, then this really is an essential purchase.

Finally, bubble and squeak and cold turkey for tea, and a chance to catch up on the several dozen things recorded off the telly. Oh, and a beer. And maybe some more chocolates and a bit of xmas pud. With custard.

Cheers!
