So I’m back from Vietnam.

I know, I know, I’ve been truly awful about updating this blog.
Merry Christmas though :D it’s been a bit of a whirlwind week what with returning from BKK, prepping for the crazy weekend of Sunday’s carol service, Monday’s party and today’s Christmas service.

Referee needs to get his eyes checked; and I’m being excessively polite.
Ugh. Here ends our lovely unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Sulk.

I have a severe hatred for smoking and for tobacco. Cigarettes, cigars, sheesha, everything that possibly contains tobacco I have a virulent hatred for. Smokers who persist in fouling up the air provoke violent reactions in me. Only yesterday I saw a mother puffing away and holding her cigarette in her hand, [...]
