On Saturday, I found myself with a hangover, and an evening with no plans whatsoever. Determined not to let the day go to waste, but without any ability to concentrate on some work, I headed off for a run, listening to the Mark Kermode movie review podcast. On it, a brief but very positive mention is given to Let The Right One In. and it triggers vague memories of a cool looking trailer, and some other positive hype that I had heard.

I am just getting done with the remains of my Christmas wrapping, after a surprise discovery last night that I hadn't actually bought all the presents I needed. Fortunately nothing too strenuous was outstanding ...

Various thoughts to mention, none of which are long enough or interesting enough to go on their own, but might just group together enough to justify it.

First off, I made the unusual decision to get the train up to my Mum's this weekend. Normally, I'd jump in the car, but the M1 just sucks at the moment with the lane widening work, getting through London is always unpredictable, and I figured it wouldn't actually make the journey longer. And tbh, even with the train being delayed, it definitely proved to be a pleasant journey.
