St. Pancras still breathtaking. Gearing up for Art Deco weekend in Brussels.
Ooh: Arise Sir Mark Jones, Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Big boss gets big gong!
The goldfinches here are looking rather lovely, plumped up against the winter.
hehehe RT @TillyVanilly Day 2 of dressmaking course - my hands are in shreds from the pins … but at least I didn’t sew my armpits up
Extending the in-laws’ LAN with extra wireless router. Working out much better than expected.

Back from jogging. Must be all those latent calories in my system that made those 5kms tolerable.
Watching Moon and it’s pushing all the right buttons so far.
Trying to cut down 2009 Lightroom catalogue. The perils of a 4GB SD Card!
New Super Mario Bros. Wii = 4-player family fun. “Get off my effing head!…”, “Don’t push me off the effing ledge!…”

Merry Christmas loves! Full of Champagne, peeling parsnips.
Board games usually make me want to die but the Logo game is rather brilliant.
Nearly finished preparing to leave. Off to sister’s in Greenwich.
Wrapping round things is hard.
Looks like things are thawing out in N4 tonight.

Absolutely thrilled to hear Mahler 1 being played over the tannoi at Wood Green tube. Beats the usual Christmas stuff!
Got my 3-4 season walking boots on. Appointment in Wood Green then tramping down to South Ken.
ROFL! Heard this on the radio: Avatar = Smurfahontas.
Early Christmas for @richbs. Lots of uninterrupted layout and programming today!
Heading for the V&A Tunnel. Apparently snowing out east.
Crikey. I think I’ve got all my prezzies bought.
Thanks to @burtisdottir and @gail_durbin for my Christmas cards. Much admiration for those who get it together to send cards!

Managed to get out for a jog, which was more like mincing around an icy Finsbury Park.
Funny! Can’t even get out of the house because of ice on the path.
In the Wilmo, quick drink with @johnkeane @annakime @maxrushden off the telly & @idiotsofants (Geoff). Steve Punt here too.
Glorious day, beautiful weather.
Man, I am SO clean.
5 (count em) pieces on the @londonsymphony bill tonight, finishing with a foot-tapping Boléro. On Radio 3 Monday night.
Finally at my first LSO concert of the season, Barbican. Expecting the usual heroics and storytelling from maestro Gergiev.
Intense bout of Django deployment this morning has left me a bit frazzled. Hope @waarg is all right!
Wind chill -9 degrees C! It’s going to be an icy sucker tomorrow morning - take it easy on the pavements, loves!

It’s a fine afternoon at the V&A when all 3 members of the web tech team are programming with Python & Django.
Banging outside the office - YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING - I can’t work like this.
Call that snow?
Wonder why iphone doesn’t honour the label-for-input-id web form convention, i.e. tapping on label checks the box.
I like Cricinfo because Cricinfo puts the cricket score in the page title. http://bit.ly/89JlX2 Great for tabbed browsing.
Cold! Finsbury Park lake is half-frozen. Proper winter - lovely.

Why would I want a dentist-clean feeling everyday? Like my mouth has been assaulted by rotating steel gubbins. Huh, adverts, eh?
