Bit of a blip and go tonight. Euan's school Christmas party and I'm on taxi duties. Then I've got to get back and get some last minute Christmas stuff sorted out or it's not going to be done in time from the Big Day.

Japanese Haiku poetry is based on the use of short, usually three lined verses containing 17 syllables (5-7-5). My woeful attempt at Japanese Haiku poetry is based on the fact I'm in a hurry and Euan is standing here in his best chatting up gear, hair spiked and ready to go off to his last Christmas party at his Primary School.

Must dash...

Proximity to Christmas indicator backup: Snow! We had our first showers today. Nothing major, but it looked the part for a short while.
