I DON'T mean to sound a misery, but I can't wait to get back to work on Monday. I do miss the old gaff and the characters it contains.
And incidentally, it will be good to get into the office and see a lesser-spotted .... FACE. Thanks to the Christmas arrival of a Nintendo Wii games console, all I've seen for the past three days solid is the rear ends belonging to my friends and relatives.
I am sure I could easily pick one out in an identity parade .... I've been up, close and personal with little ones, pert ones, big ones, rotund ones, skinny ones and sexy ones. I won't say which describes who's as that would cause a kerfuffle but I think they all secretly know who they are!
One thing I haven't missed since I broke up on Christmas Eve, though, is my kitchen. It has been a shadow of its former self due to the Family Pugh putting it about the locality to raid everyone else's festive larders! Today is the first day that the smell of good old fashioned home cooking has wafted from within those four walls. But it won't last. Tomorrow, we're off to a fancy dress party and more sausage rolls and finger buffet chicken lattice rolls and there's no prizes for guessing who I'm going as.
Think Australian ..... Kylie Minogue?? No, too tall. Dame Edna?? Nah, too scared. An aborigine?? Just a thong and a flattened nose?? No thanks! This may not be an obvious choice, but it's the easiest costume option as I have most of the items hanging in the wardrobe .... we're going as Ozzie wildlife warriors, Steve and Terri Irwin ..... what a little beauty!
We have the outfits, we have the boots, we have the hats with corks ... all I need to get my hands on now is a prop to put under my arm.
Anyone loan me a croc?
