Silver Linings

Sorry for the absence but computer issues continue! An new laptop is now ordered having had a pretty horrendous experience attempting to buy one in PC world - no one was interested in selling us anything, the one we liked wasn't in stock and it was almost death by Christmas Carols. Apart from that it's cleaning the house, learning Irish, eating pizzas, watching films, delivering cards and frantically sorting out presents. Oh, and the odd walk too. Himself has girded his loins and ventured out into the frenzy that is National Christmas Shopping today (8th) - originally the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Mary's) - how it got from one to the other I'm not sure.
