Mistle-woe

In one week's time it will be December, and in one month's, Christmas eve. This means that I have to buy gifts for other people that they probably do not want, while at the same time have to deny gifts to myself that I do want. Notably Umberto Pelizzari's translation into English of his Manual of Freediving. Also Marillion's 2DVD special edition Marbles on the Road.



I suppose I'll survive.

Hi - thanks for leaving a comment on my blog - its always a pleasure to hear from fellow Marillion fans. Buy yourself the Marbles DVD - you know you want too!! ;)

Too few of us around to ignore each other. Trouble with buying this DVD now, is that the big guy with the white beard is now closed for e-business, and getting his shipment ready for the 25th of next month. If I'm guessing correctly, he'll be chimney-side with my DVD.

You're so unsubtle Mr. H! You'll be damn lucky to receive a standard pair of boxers from the Xmas elf.

Oops ... don't mean to trash your blog, but the Xmas elf is feeling mischievous.

I always encourage people to tell me what they really want, and then I don't have to be concerned about buying something to be orphaned later on. Chocolate always works, as does i-tunes vouchers and i-pod gear.
