What am I Doing???

Well, apart from the usual cleaning and laundry, I am getting in the Christmassy Mode!

For the first time since I moved in to "Moderation", I have a Christmas Tree!!

OK, it's an artificial tree.

OK, it's only 5ft.

OK, I had to find a new home for my huge colour laser printer.

But, it fits beautifully in the corner.

I have put the lights on it and am now in the process of adding sparkly bits to it.

The rate I'm going  I should have it finished by August!!!!

I also have some Christmassy illuminated stars in my window, (Must have had a wee dram too many when I bought them!!!)

I might even get a mini tree for my desk!!

On a different note, (no pun in ten did!), Amazon have started an mp3 download service in competition with iTunes.  Albums and tracks are slightly cheaper than iTunes, (at the moment), and download automatically to iTunes or Windoze Media Player.

Unlike iTunes, there is no DRM, you can burn to disks, you can play on any PC, mp3 player, or whatever you have which will play mp3 tracks.

Since I am this side of the pond I am using the UK amazon site, but I assume there is a US site which offers the same service.

Other News:

I have just finished a bottle of Chenin Blanc which I started 2 days ago.

My current whisky is Glen Moray, a light, smooth, easy drinking single malt, standard 40%abv.

Menu for tonight is :

Sirloin steak
Broccoli
Cauliflower

Apple Crumble
Sauce Anglais

Casillero del Diablo Shiraz 2007

Tomorrow I shall cook a Chicken Stir Fry, served with Egg Noodles.

Haven't decided on the wine yet!!

It all sounds just delightful.

And for the record. You can NEVER have too many Christmas trees.
