Happy Easter, everyone! (My granny's traditional greeting when she arrives for Christmas dinner)
I had a lovely Christmas Day. I have a ghost speaker for my iPod, a guidebook to New Zealand - time to start planning my trip - DVDs of Dara O Briain (particularly enjoyed the extras!) and Andrew Maxwell (who's a bit of a poppet) and my grandad gave us a remote-control helicopter and randomly numbered envelopes. Number 1 gets to put the thing together and get it working and give it a test flight, then Number 2 gets to play, then Number 3 etc. Took 18 hours to figure out how to charge it - a lot of Christmas evening was spent believing it was faulty.
Boxing Day morning consisted of a lot of helicopter flying. It has attacked the tree, it has shredded some poinsetta, it has scratched the TV and it has given my grandmother a fit of something between hysterical laughter and terror as I buzzed it around her head. Obviously we don't have a great deal of control over the thing. I accidentally but beautifully crash-landed it nose-first in a glass vase this morning. I recommend toy helicopters, they're great fun.
This afternoon, after the hysterical laughter of the morning, I took to the sanctuary of my room where I watched some DVDs and fell asleep over the laptop and then retreated up again after a couple of bread rolls at tea time. To be honest, I've been feeling pretty off-colour this evening. Sorry to whine at Christmas. Might be that I'm really tired. Might be that I find it tough coping with having the grandparents living here for a few days. Might be that I've overheated sleeping under blankets fully dressed. Might be that I've been laptopping without my glasses on for a couple of hours and strained my eyes. Might be that I ate quite a few After 8s this afternoon. Obviously I haven't overdone turkey/ham/mince pies/Christmas pudding. Other than the chocolate, I've eaten less this last two days than I normally do. It's quite clearly a chocolate overdose. Anyway, I'm hot and tired and puffy-eyed and headachy and feel vaguely sick and I think I need to go to bed because I'll feel better in the morning. Goodnight all.
