Christmas Eve observations

1. Classic FM rocks! I spent the entire day listening to them, playing carol after carol - very cool. Not that it got me into the Christmas spirit but it was the perfect background music for
2. cleaning my flat. I managed to get a lot done, including doing three loads of laundry and dish washing! Nothing left to wash now for a while ;-)
3. Found this FANTASTIC piece of software called Replay Radio which records from streaming internet radio!!! I've recorded most of the stuff I've listened to on Classic FM! How cool is that? And now I can record a LOT of other radio shows which is absolutely brilliant!
4. It is SO WARM outside that I didn't have to turn the heating on and it's still 21C in my living room. Seriously weird and not Christmassy at all. I suppose this is one of the reasons I don't get into the Christmas mood. I need snow. Without it, it's not Christmas for me.
5. A tub of "Sour cream & onion" Pringles and one of "Pralines & cream" Haagen Dazs go a long way and are perfect as a Christmas Eve dinner!
6. At about 6pm everything went dead quiet. People are not out on the streets, no cars, nothing. So, so nice. Almost makes me feel like I'm really far, far away.
7. I'm still fighting this damn cold and can't get rid of it... I suppose dancing three hours non-stop at the company Christmas Party on Thursday night didn't help.
8. Off to bed now...
