Crimble Prep Continues

Following the recharge period in the centre of town I return to the task of recording records. Now I ain't the tallest person on the planet and in order to reach a box of dental records (nothing exciting just stuff about dental training) I have to grab the nearest thing to a kickstep in the room. It's a flight case that out of idle curiousity I open and discover I've been standing on a latex or similar material, female torso. Freaky. Probably not the wisest move in terms of health and safety.

Return to Liverpool, a quick flit into the No Mercy en route to home. Fetch a ham and dismembered bit of Turkey for Christmas Eve and the visit of Alan and his new significant other. Monst has a shopping list waiting for me at home and off I head to Morrisons and Sainsbury's to fetch the food for Christmas and the main shop for January. Come across Lemon and Lime Jaffa Cakes. It's just so wrong it's right.

Wet, Wild and Glasgae

How do you cheer up a shopping trip to Glasgow? Easy, discover a three - nil win against Spurs. This discovered while waiting outside a heaving Boots cheered Cal and myself up mightily. To be honest though the shopping trip really wasn't that painful. One Denby dinner service later and a fine set of pans and things are sorted. That's before the quest for red coat for Callum. No joy because of the boy's insistence on red, despite Monst finding something that was good in grey. Glasgow was heaving as the big Chrimbo shopathon rumbles into life.

Then we go to see 'Happy Feet'. Cal enjoyed it so that was fine. Not certain it had the biggest plot on the planet but the animation was mightily impressive.

I escape CSI and head to the pub for a pint. Discover it's karaoke night and not wishing to reprise the 'Blockbuster' experience, I flee the pub and return to the dog end of CSI - deep joy!

Lomper

Cal a long lie today, Monst ain't upset. I kick in with the news and begin the process of cataloguing e-books. Go back to bed before the folks are up. Wake and cook breakfast. Plan is to head to town via the barbers. Monst's first experience round at the increasingly mafia styled barbers. Still Cal behaves and I do too!

Shopping is achieved but town is heaving. Parking is shite. The big dig is getting in the way everywhere. Knackered by return home. Feed all, make a cake and get Monst to work. Cal slots in a viewing of the new series of Robin Hood. Goes down well. Sit in front of Film 4. Watch the Full Monty and can't help but think of ITs the Half Monty, all responsible NHS IT folk these days!
