I have no extended family, so there are no hilarious games of charades followed by wholesome walks in the countryside.<BR/><BR/>I'd be happy with a good film, but I have two young sons and a wife who's determined to give them the perfect childhood, so I have to keep up the pretence.<BR/><BR/>I've nothing against people having fun. I just don't like the oppressive YOU WILL HAVE FUN ON THIS PARTICULAR DATE concept.<BR/><BR/>I prefer spontaneity.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14062960.post-51805671705206238092008-12-13T20:35:00.000+00:002008-12-13T20:35:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Roger Frith's familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161240593773695513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14062960.post-30033507932133589802008-12-10T18:10:00.000+00:002008-12-10T18:10:00.000+00:00In about 11 or 12 days, you'll be in the thick of ...In about 11 or 12 days, you'll be in the thick of it. <BR/><BR/>And on that day you can start telling yourself that every day you'll be seeing a bit more daylight from then on out.<BR/><BR/>That's how I get myself through it, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I wish Christmas felt like fun to me again, too...<BR/><BR/>I find I'm avoiding it by figuring out how to make playlists on Youtube (good for listening mostly!) and immersing myself in Roxy Music for the first time ever. <BR/><BR/>I'm starting to tire of it a little, though, so I'm trying to think of the next Band I've Never Checked Out But Always Wanted To.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of getting bedroom curtains, too. The light is so insulting sometimes.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894306827010389013noreply@blogger.com
