Work's over (I did an hour this morning,) shopping's done, presents wrapped, beer and wine drunk (actually still working on that one) and the cat feeder's been booked for Christmas day.
Merry Christmas everyone! Give it heaps (food and wine) and ride if you can find the time and inclination.

Relaxation starts on Boxing Day. Tomorrow is the missus' birthday; Christmas Eve - visiting friends and head out of town to the in-laws; Christmas Day has been organised by the various chooks with military precision, and I can only hope the combative brothers' in-law don't drink enough to lose their inhibitions; Boxing Day - hit the surf and come home (in either order).
Followed by 12 days of surf, riding, gardening, reading, walking, drinking, eating and one day waving a marshal's flag for the Tauranga Half Ironman.

Mmmmm, Lindt. Those Belgians know how to make chocolate (oh and cyclists!)
We've started into our Christmas choccie selection. I expect weird dreams for a while.

If you hate shelling out money to dentists, get used to the vibrating mouth thing Are you sure you haven't got your toothbrush and your girlfriends vibrator mixed up?

I know a few people who've gorn back to normal tooth brushes, but I reckon electric brushes
are the best thing since stretch denim (I'll keep using that gag till I get enough laughs -- I've only had one)
Like Jerry said when he brang an electric brush for Elaine: "they're not just better, they're like TEN TIMES better!!"

Too much red wine = black poo.
Lovely.
There used to be a Jamaican/Creole restaurant in Carlton, which I went to once with some friends. My mate ate the spiciest thing on the menu, smothered in hot sauce. It was that hot he drank 6 stubbies with the meal (doesn't normally drink beer) and had to have a cold shower the next morning to cool down his bunghole.
