Texans in London

So after all the excitement of Madeira, things have calmed down into the Christmas rush at work! Ack! Actually, it's not so bad, just a lot of nice big numbers at the end of the day.

But things are going well, Tommy finishes work on the 22, and is totally free until Jan 3, and I'm excited about having a few days holiday soon. We're going to have a group of friends over to have a lovely dinner and spend the night since London closes down on Christmas Day. Then on New Year's Eve, our friends Jonathan and Ami will be joining us in London, exhausted from their whirlwind honeymoon in Europe and (hopefully) ready to relax in their comfortable new home! Then 2 days later, Risa and Sylvia are coming over for a week! This is all great news for January, which is a really hard month in London, when Christmas is over, everyone is broke, and it's stinking cold outside. Hopefully this year winter won't last until MAY!! like last year....

I don't have much news other than that, just anticipation of things to come. We are going to buy loads of phone cards so we can call everyone for a long chat over the holidays--so stay by those phones! No, really, don't hold your breath, but we'll definitely call everyone! In the meantime, enjoy the holidays, and stay nice and warm in your toasty little southern state...(grr...) ;)

Merry Christmas!
