So it's boxing day and my plan was to lounge around and watch the cricket. Didn't really happen.
I have managed to watch parts of it during the day and I'm extremely miffed at missing Warnie boy get his 700th test wicket. Grrr. And the reason for this? Well, the biggest reason is because Mr M would much rather watch repeats of Only Fools & Horses rather than watch cricket! What!?
I sometimes despair, I really do. Okay, so England were gonna get a good stuffing yet again but it's still worth a watch if only to cringe at how badly they do.
But the annoying part is I bought him series 3,4 & 5 on DVD but still he insists on watching the repeats on the TV. And did I mention THE CRICKET IS ON! Even Boony & Beefy let me know half an hour before play was due to start, bless 'em! They're good boys, they even gave us a cracking rendition of Silent Night. We we also treated to cries of "Ho, Ho, Ho, it's Father Boony". Tashtastic!
And I must have been a very good girl as Father Boony brought me a nice lot of pressies! Included was a pile of CDs a couple of DVDs (no Keeping Mum but did get Layer Cake!) a book on Johnny Depp which will be a good read, a set of weights to work of my Christmas treats ( you may think that would be a nasty present but it was actually what I wanted! I really do need to do more exercise) and best of all....... a 320GB external drive for mac! Now I no longer need to worry about breaking his 80GB. It's Lurvly! So I'm gonna transfer all my photo's on to it and possibly my iTunes too. Had great fun trying to get it to show up on my desktop, and of course computer whizz was more interested in bloody Fools & Horses! Grrrr. I'm afraid I just don;t see the fascination with that programme. Sure, some of it is quite funny, some of it is extremely cringe worthy and most of it just doesn't make me feel much but boredom. I know it's not right, I know that OF&H is a British institution, just not my cuppa I'm afraid.
What I am enjoying this Christmas holidays is Charley Boorman's Road to Dakar. Mum bought the DVD for Mr M for Crimbo and we only have two more episodes to watch after staying up 'til gone midnight to finishing watching the first five. If you liked the Long Way Round or even if you like motobike racing, Road to Dakar is well worth a watch.
I also did get the Ministry of Sound Annual 2007. First disc is awesome! The second disc, which has Fredde Le Grande on it, is unfortunately not to my taste. It's a bit too OTT with all the extra electro sounds which to me are unnecessary. Well, you can't win them all but I'm lovin' the first disc so it's not a complete waste.
I managed not to get sunburnt on Christmas day, thank god! Yesterday was really nice. We were woken up by the sound of rain so it felt like back home :-) It picked up for the afternoon so it was back to normal. Not too sure how it will be on NYE, the forecast is for rain but I'm hoping they've got it wrong.
Fingers crossed!
