It feels like November has sped past super quickly… we’ll be opening our Lego-filled advent calendar tomorrow.

I spent my last couple of days with my family hanging around Maida Vale. We had bites to eat on the canals and went Christmas ornament shopping in Clifton nurseries.

We have nice new neighbours upstairs, Olivia and Juliet, who came down for drinks and took our unwanted orange sofa away. When Emma moved out, we got her bigger one and bought a red cover for it. I’m going to make some social-networking cushions to go with it.

On Saturday night we went out for Alex’s birthday, starting off at the Eagle Bar Diner, where we had delicious food that Raven had recommended (goat’s cheese burger, fat fries and a hard shake). Ben and Emma shared a fish bowl filled with cocktail and fruit.

Apple had a sale for Black Friday, so I got myself a shiny new Macbook Pro. It’s so light to carry around. Not only does Tom get to play pingpong and on slides all day at work, but his new boss took him computer shopping in the Apple store and, when he’d picked the one he wanted, told him he could have more money to get a better one. The office were sent 1,500 bars of Green & Blacks chocolate, so Tom came home from work with a big box of them – far to tempting for a Monday afternoon.
