Wasn't really much for the blogging over Christmas, so in short it was great. The usual big family gathering on Christmas Day, 9 for dinner and an 18 pound Turkey ... my sister was doing her 1st Christmas with her in-laws so her & Daithi came over in the evening. A few different friends were back for a few days or a week or too, so some catching up and some nights out, but mainly just major chill time and playing with my new Ipod which I do love perhaps just a hint too much ... but it's just so cool!
I just got back from a few days uber chill time in Sweden with Rich. The temperature was supposedly -1 degrees, but bollox to that, it felt like -10 with windchill. So pretty much too cold to do too much which was grand, we were happy to have mega catch ups over whiskey til the early morning and long lie ins. We hopped over to Copenhagen for a few hours on Friday, really pretty city though I'd say you need to see it in Summer with all it's outdoor cafes along the harbour to really appreciate it. The same with Skanor, Sweden's version of Newport I think, great beach but the icy wind made it a bit unbearable for more than a few minutes ... always a reason to go back anyway! I pulled an all nighter in Malmo with Rich and his mates on Saturday night before my 7.20am flight ... and this time I made it YEAH! I had a minor incident of missing a flight post end of conference all nighter in Sweden a few years back, didn't want to make it a running theme! ;-)
