Christmas was hard, staying up till 4am putting together a present for the kids didn't help either. Seemed like a good idea to buy a few components for Warwicks P.C. then with the spare processor and memory build a new computer for Wayland and Flint. However, the processor arrived on Friday night and hence the only time to build the machine was christmas eve. Still I managed to simply fall asleep on the sofa for about 2 hours which really helped. The christmas roast was kind of OK, the roast potatos where kind of rushed, but they where edible.

As for the kids they had a good time, found they had crept down stairs and opened most of their presents by about 8 o'clock. Not as bad as when I was young would get up at about 5am and slip downstairs only to bring presents back to my bed and silently open them under my bed covers.

Unfortunatly the kids (Wayland and Flint) have had real difficulty getting to sleep tonight kept getting up and mucking about. Finally put them in my bed for an hour while I played King Kong with Warwick on his PC. That seems to have done the trick, moved the kids back to their own beds now it's time for me to clean my teeth and get some sleep.

Thank god it's only once a year!
