Had an absolutely smashing day in work followed by a fantastic meal at our local Italian.
Not often I'm this chipper; must be the wine!

You made it over! Enjoy your break and visit
Went to town expecting Christmas mayhem but it was dead peaceful. Had a quiet fryup and bought a new doorbell before tootling home. Got fuel ahead of Christmas driving.
Sat on sofa for the next 36 hours hopefully

I did. Had to get us all the way home. Book a ferry. And drive the next day to Paris. Loooong day.

I have been learning how to use some CAD software (freecad) for my CNC router which is going well - YouTube really is a goldmine for tutorial videos.

Preet Chandi: Army officer 'fastest' woman to ski to South Pole
Preet Chandi completes a solo ski expedition, which she says breaks her third world record.

This woman is amazing. 31 days and change skiing solo to the south pole pulling a 75kg sled.
My 13 year old daughter cracked a joke the other day that really tickled me. I'm starting back on the carnivore diet as its what works for me and was watching various videos on it where this particular creator made a comment about vegans trying to ban all meat. I made a throw away comment akin to " if they ban beef I'll have to start eating the vegans"
My daughter, without skipping a beat blurted out "well they wouldn't be very nutritious now, would they" and I just completely fell to pieces.
The kid has been through a hell of a lot in her short life, has lots of issues that cause a lot of stress which takes its toll and this was one of the rarest naturally funny and stress free moments I've had with her in a long time. It felt damn good.

A facebook memory popped up earlier, 10 years since I started a course of chemo. It's nice to still be here, and I feel a hell of a lot better than I did back then!

Went to take the wife for a meal last night, meeting up with her brother-in-law and missus, my car wouldn't start. Dead battery.
Was running a bit late, so no time to wait for a taxi. Knocked on a neighbour's door and asked if he'd take us into town if I paid the petrol (10 minute journey). He said he'd be happy to help, but had been drinking so couldn't drive us.
"No problem", I said and went to walk away. At which point he said, "I can't drive you, but you can drive yourselves"; then threw me his car keys.
Wasn't expecting that. What a decent bloke.
(For those who are wondering, yes I do have "drive any car 3rd party" on my insurance. So niether of us were breaking the law )
