Risotto! Risotto! Risotto!!

Hello all who may be reading this blog and a Merry Christmas to you all. Ho Ho Ho!

I realise I've not posted since November. Not that much has happened, but still. I did go to the preview of Hamlet and very VERY good it was too. Of course it is now on today, so I won't say too much, but you are all in for a treat. Visually stunning at times and performances that are as good, if not better, than I saw on the stage. Really cannot wait to get my hands on the DVD next week. I've not pre ordered, silly me, so I'm hoping that Asda will have it. Although, thinking about it, Asda and Hamlet are possibly not natural bedfellows...

What else? Well, work has been a beast, but that is par for the course, really. Been working hard and the like. But at least I've had a bit of luck there - I won £40 in the monthly staff lottery, I then won second prize in a staff raffle and bagged a portible dvd player. Then I found out that, for the first time ever, I and my co-workers, were getting a bonus! And it's not a bad sum, either. So I now have itchy fingers until I get it in my pay packet on 15th January! What to buy, what to buy?! I think a nice DW specials box set, at least. And a new phone. Ahhh yes.

Christmas (or as I have come to think of it this year, Tennantmas) has been it's normal self, only changed by the appearance of the lovely lad in many different guises across the BBC schedules. They really wanted to use him whilst he was still there, didn't they? As usual, however, he has been his normal bright sweet and clever self, making friends at work comment how funny and likeable he is. He also made me cry my eyes out in a frankly bonkers Doctor Who. The moments with Wilf were/are priceless and I didn't just cry I wept bitterly during the cafe scene. I don't know what Rusty was on when writing most of the rest of it, but that was glorious, and made better by BC and the lad. After seeing the alternative trail on the DW website, I am going to buy in extra hankies for next week, because the end of Ten is going to break my heart. I'm also making a crackpot prediction that wilf is his son from when he was John Smith. Really.*

Right off to help sister cook Boxing day dinner. Pheasant and all the trimmings. Oh yes, we are that posh!
