• A Collection of Wise Thoughts

  I have three fish. They are Eberhard, Earl of Ergemont, Professor Jeramiah Esq., and Dame Penelope (or it might be Lady…. or maybe Lady Dame… who knows).

  The rain today is cold. I don’t mind rain and I don’t mind the cold but cold rain is just plain annoying. My house is also cold, but that could be because I haven’t put the heating on. However there is no rain in the house which is definitely a bonus.

  Aside from 4 hours of training tomorrow (for some of which I am the trainer rather than the trainee which is slightly daunting) I have finished work until the 8th of January. This is wonderful news.

  I have been seeing one child on my Play Therapy placement for 10 weeks and I have been informed by the Head that he is ‘like a different child’. This is also wonderful news because I wasn’t too sure if I was actually doing anything useful. Apparently I am. I will be seeing 3 children after Christmas.

  I do not know what to have for dinner because I have been eating party food on and off for most of the day and now my stomach feels a little bit of something along the lines of bleeeeuuurgh.

  I have a large amount of Christmas presents left to buy. I have wrapped none. I have written cards but they are not in envelopes and I’m not entirely convinced that we have any stamps in order for them to be posted. They are however the first cards written as Husband and Wife. That is quite nice. It is also quite nice receiving cards addressed to Mr and Mrs (they do have our surname after that, we are not simply known as Mr and Mrs, though we are THE Mr and Mrs). However someone I work with did ask why I hadn’t signed the card that I gave them from Ben as well as me. I said that he didn’t really know her. I have never understood why people sign Christmas cards from all members of the family even if the other members of the family don’t know them. It seems odd to me. But perhaps I am the one that is odd.

  We sat down to watch Mission Impossible 4 yesterday. I was reasonably looking forward to it because I hadn’t seen it. But then it started and it turned out that I had seen it. This was annoying.

  I will decorate my mothers Christmas Tree tomorrow and also make the Christmas Pudding. This is good.

  The Lions Club just bought a pretend reindeer down the street on the back of a truck with Father Christmas (yes the REAL one) walking beside him while beautiful Christmas songs played. They knock on everyone’s doors and charmingly hold out their money-collecting-pots for you to put some money in. And of course I did because it was all so beautiful. Particularly the pretend reindeer. But mainly the Christmas songs filling up the street. I would personally advocate there being permanent music playing in the street. Only if I can choose the songs though. It is certainly a good way to get money off people.
