Each day seems just like the day before. I get up, have breakfast then search countless websites for a job. Once that is done I play Settlers Online. That is how things are unfolding in my life at the moment. When there is something of interest on TV I watch that but as Christmas speeds towards us there is less on TV.
Yes the telly schedules are wrapping up ready for the festive season. That is when we will have a glut of specials most of which we won't watch as we never gazed upon those shows anyways. We will have one or two that we all look forwards to. Things like Doctor Who or a favourite comedy show. Plus there is always one gem we find while channel surfing. That movie we haven't seen since last year, at least according to the wife. Though we are always sure it has been longer since it was last aired, right.
One good thing is we don't really need to go shopping for all those presents. Well not out into those wet cold days as we used to. Now we do most of it from the comfort of our living-room as the wind howls past the window. It almost sounds like it was demanding that we remember those blue handed shopping trips as kids. Being dragged from one stall to another. How grateful we were when we finally found ourselves being marched into the warmth of Woolworth's. Even if it was only to take a shortcut through the store back into the dark winters day. Those few minutes in the heat I'm sure saved us from turning into icicles.
Now though it is the poor delivery drivers we should feel for. Jumping in and out of their heated vans must make them prone to getting the flu a lot. Maybe not. But I for one am glad that I don't have to do more than answer the door to get the gifts for loved ones in.
