The Hidden Palace

And I don't mean the song by Frank Kelly, better known as Father Jack Hackett. *cackle* Today is my last day until the 2nd January and I've a hell of a lot to do once I pack up at the end of the day!

As it looked highly likely that this Christmas was going to be the most austere of my adult life until a few weeks ago (and because it's all a bit eleventh hour), in lieu of cards and presents I've made a donation to the PDSA as promised. I'm leaving this entry public so those of you who only look this way in passing these days due to evil Facebook *cackle* can behold my good deed. :-)

All being well I'll be back in the old country tomorrow afternoon. Really hoping for no more adverse weather conditions as Flybe cancel flights at the drop of a hat. Yikes! But as soon as I arrive I'm being whisked off to do the Big Food Shop^TM so I won't exactly be resting on my laurels! I'll be joined a few days later by Tez and we'll remain in Belfast until the 27th. Then there's New Year to sort out, but thankfully most of the planning's done.

Not signing off altogether over the holidays-expect my 2013 review over the next few days!

OK, so Michael Jackson died (hardly shock of the century), but there's no need to tell me about it SIX times on one page! *rolls eyes*

Edit to add amusing quip - Farrah Fawcett played with Majors, while Michael Jackson played with Minors. *drum roll and cymbal clash* :-D
