Evening Kristine
Once again, I'm stuck in London this evening. Eurostar has resumed their services, but have been clearing the backlog of stranded passengers from the weekend. Have spent the day playing Unreal Tournament 3.

Why are you stuck? Snow?

The Eurostar trains (the ones that run through the Channel Tunnel) broke down in the middle of the tunnel, and services were suspended for 3 days

Thankfully, I was not stuck in the Tunnel. I was meant to leave on Monday, but should hopefully be leaving tomorrow. Thankfully, they'll let me use my ticket on Wednesday. Have just been spending the past 2 days sleeping and playing UT3 and browsing t3h Intertubez. My supply of clean underwear is holding out, but am running out of food here. My parents have a cat, but he doesn't use any ink.

I'm lost at your ink comment.
Still, good that they're going to accept your ticket on wednesday.

Prepare yourself as I'm about to ask the most frequently asked question ever:
Are you ready for christmas?

My parent's cat does not use any ink so he can't write.
I'm ready to avoid it. I seem to be pretty good at avoiding Xmas, but will still be having Xmas dinner with the parents.

I can't believe it took me this long to figure out what you meant

Evening Mr Specialneedsman
And a happy christmas to you as this will probably be the last chance for me to say it before the over-rated day.

Evening The one with too high expectations
Same to you. Thanks to the Channel Tunnel chaos, the time when I slip into Winter Hibernation Mode has been delayed by yet another day.

Cold and knackered
With a bathroom in my living room - just delivered today, it's the stuff for the en-suite which Jules is fitting for me in January.

How are the Poles?

That's cookery
I don't sign cookery.

Xmas dinner at my sister's, as usual.

Chris (her partner) takes charge of everything. He's a seriously good cook.

Looking forward to it this year, for once.

Am heading back to the parents for two weeks to sleep off the effects of 2009
That, and also so I have an opportunity to stroke their cat.

I'm guessing that they live somewhere warm
Or at least warmer.

Nah
Where they live is about the same sort of climate as here. Fortunately, they have central heating that they have full control of.
