Christmas is coming...
... The goose is getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny
Then God bless you.
Feeling in a Christmas mood today. Went out to the Frankfurt market. It's a German christmas market that comes each year for about a month/6 weeks. And they've all got something from germany or german related things there. And it's so much fun. I went there yesterday with Amy for a look round, and then went back today actually buying things. Normally i try to ignore christmas for as long as possible and end up running round at the last minute getting presents. But not this year. This year, it's not even the end of Novemeber, and i have everyone's christmas presents. And i think i'm still in credit in my balance. Atm at least.
Got a taekwondo tournament at the weekend. Which should be extremely fun. Staying overnight in Liverpool. And i think it's going to be warmer there than it has been here for the last few days. And apparently it's going to get colder in the next couple of days. But we aint had any snow or slush or ice... we had a bit of ground frost last week, and the extremely cold winds, but that's as close as it has come to being winter here so far.
My nana on my mum's side is ill. I dont know what's wrong with her. They thought it was gall bladder stones, but a couple of MRIs and other tests later they've ruled that out. And my grandad has diabetes and arthritis. And lately it's been getting worse. To the extent that he hardly leaves the house now because it's so hard for him to move around. And now he's decided that he doesn't like the house that he's in at the moment. And as he's housebound, or pretty much housebound, as my nana can't drive, he wants to move to a house where he feels happy.
And I can understand that. It's just that last time they moved, which was only just over a year ago, they got really stressed out over it. And i'm a little worried that it's going to cause major problems this time. So yeah, i can understand why he wants to move, but i'm concerned about them. And yes, they can be complete pains, and seem to crticise more than compliment, but they'll still the only grandparents on that side of my family that i have.
I've been so busy this week. Thursday for example, i was out of the house for 13 hours. I was in uni for 6 hours. And will be again on Thurday. The joys of having a 3 hour practical before a lecture at 5. Still, it could be worse. I could be having 9-5 everyday, or 9-12 on Wednesday. I was clever and opted to do biology and not pharmacy. We got a change of parasitology lecturer on Thursday. He's apparently in a 60's band. And he took a jab at the pharmacists. Actually all of my lecturers did on Thurday. Ah well.
Geoge Best died. And i would go into a big debate over this, but i don't think it's my place to. So i wont say anything beyond that.
It's ironic to think that my job around the house this week has been to keep the kitchen tidy. Apart from today, i haven't actually used it this week. I've either had a share of a takeout that someone has gotten in, or i have eaten out. And yet somehow i still have money...
Or crap, no i wont. I've got my rent coming out next week. damn. And there was me thinking i was solvent for the next couple of weeks. Ah well. Christmas is coming. I'll probably be getting some money off some releatives. Oh, speaking of whom, i'm going to be seeing my dad's family in a couple of weeks. My nana (on his side of the family) has booked most of the family in at a nice hotel just down from where they live. It'll be good to see them all again, as i haven't seen some of them since, um, i don't know, April? That makes sense. I aint seen my Aunt since April of last year. Wow. Long time.
It's strange. I seem to be getting excited for christmas this year. My last few years haven't been the best for christmas's. But saying that nothing life altering happened aroud my birthday... ujnless you count A level results and moving away. Ok, family wise there hasn't been any majorly bad developments like there have been for the last couple of years. Maybe the run of bad luck has ended. Or maybe fate is going to wait a little longer before letting all hell loose. Guess i'll have to wait and see.
Small apologies to mamochan for the next bit...

Damn, I wish I had something like that to shop for christmas stuff. Probably could have gone to york with Mam but getting time off work and a bunch of other stuff was going to be tricky.
Heh glad your cool though

But George Best's death over shadowed the other major death that day.
Mr Miagi is now dead.
