the warm fuzzies start to flow...

A pretty relaxed day, really - I spent the morning recovering from work yesterday. Well, by sleeping. In the afternoon, me and dad had the task of re-wiring the cable we'd laid some years ago from the hifi in the lounge to the speakers in the dining room and kitchen, which had become disconnected when the lounge was done up this summer. It was a fairly simple task - poke the four wires through a hole in the floor and screw them into a switchbox, but the eternal problem remained - I just can't strip wires.

I eventually got stuff working again, with dad acting like his own father by floating nearby, asking "is it working yet? ach, it will never work..."

As is customary, we headed out to mum's friend Lee's house for a few hours (which was mostly spent watching TV), and then we headed home to watch some more Christmas Eve tv...

Sometime close to midnight, I took a leaf out of IainB's book and started smsing everyone to wish them a merry Christmas, but it was taking longer and longer for the messages to get through - I'm assuming the networks were just clogged up with similar season's greetings.
