Christmas 2008

We broke up from work on Xmas Eve and then...10 days off! Yay!

We cooked dinner for 10 on Xmas Day...very stressful, particularly for SJ, however we battle through. It was really nice, salmon starter, soup, turkey (obviously), veggies, potatoes, loads of desserts and enough alcohol to sink a battleship!

SJ and I decided to buy each other a Nintendo Wii - its's fantastic! Really good fun. We bought the Wii Fit to go with it as well so let's see if we can get fitter!

Did the usual stuff over Xmas - saw family, walked dogs etc, etc. We came back down to Radlett a couple of days before New Years Eve as we were heading into London for NYE.

"Never before has a boy asked for me..."

We went to watch Oliver on Friday night. This was the opening Friday as it was cancelled the week before. It stars Rowan Atkinson as Fagan and Nancy was decided via a public vote on a talent show. It was pretty good, the sets were amazing, however the real star of the show was The Artful Dodger - fantastic performance!!

We had a meal out at one of the West End restaurants beforehand (can't remember which one) but it was OK...nothing special but OK...
