Today we’ve watched Jack Frost [1999]. It’s done Small good to sit and watch for a bit – he’s had a fair bit of running around as well, we’ve been to the beach today. Boy it was nippy though – stopped on the way and bought them some thinsulate gloves! Other than that it’s been a quiet day, more good food obviously and good company, although I could wish that Baby Annabell had better manners! Still, Big is well pleased with her, so I guess that’s the main thing. Still a console-less family I’m afraid, I hope we’ll be OK when we come to the various camps!

Right, I’m not even going to try to fiddle on with the pics I’ve taken today – this thing has a card reader so I can get them on here easily enough, but I don’t have much in the way of editing software so I’m not going to fiddle on with them. (I know, there’s always an excuse as to why there’s no pictures. I’ll do better next year 😉 )

ETA – uploaded Tim’s favourite pic to flickr, so here you go after all. Enjoy. Boxing day on the beach Hope everyone else is having an excellently relaxing family time too.

    “Bacteria free – by sprinkling incredibly small, nano-sized silver ion powder on the keyboard, your system will remain “bacteria free” for even longer”
    On that basis alone I think I’ll get one 😉

    Mmm, beach at Christmas. Wish we could. Was jealous of Nic’s trip to the beach today too.

    Is Tim holding his crap Christmas presents competition again this year? Because I got a ‘lovely’ grater from Chris. When I asked him wtf he had given me a grater, he protested that “it only cost £3!” as if that would make it *more* appealing.

    I thought since I had won last year I might give it a miss. I think you won’t have much competition for such truly, madly, deeply crap gift. But if anyone else want to submit a contender…
    BTW, I suppose you will be looking for a few suggestions for his birthday present?
