    Christmas eve, I will be drinking the bestest coffee known to man or beast [within the confines of home] when I fire up this baby[^]! Christmas day, my family and I will go to the Best-Damned-Christmas-Lunch [tm]; also known as "Grandma's". Mrs Wife will be driving home. Then it's a week in Wales doing welsh things; though not #that# welsh thing.


    Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

        We can't do both families in one year, wot with mine here and Mrs Wife's in Hungarorsag. This may well be our last Christmas in the UK as Her Regal Wifeness's contract ends in July and the fighting and bitching for who gets the job next year has already started so she'll be shipped of home. Considering my parent's are self-confessed old farts and getting-on-a-bit, this might be the last chance I get to spend Christmas with them. Then again, it might not.

        I have to give in to mine everytime she wants to see her family, afterall, we picked up straight after uni for me to come here for this job, and she's stuck in a dead end til I can find something else (been here over 2 years now) or I can convince my boss for me to work from home and move away (being considered by the powers that be!).

                    Sharm and Hurghada is located on each side of the Suez canal. But the canal seems narrow there. Maybe we can wave to eachother? Anyway, let's have the best of X-mas.
