Almost finished...

Well, what a time I've had recently!

I've been in Linda's old flat for a few weeks now, and up until last week it was still looking like a bomb had dropped on it. I had set up some of the living room, but going to Slaygon's to work and then coming back home to the mess, I just couldn't be bothered to do anything with it. Linda came to the rescue though.

Last week I was suddenly immersed in a project, for the Swedish Idol 2006, to allow users to download the wallpapers and ringtones of the finalists. It was a normal web site, with accompanying WAP site. Now, I've never really done any WAP sites before; so I had to learn to technologies as well as design the sites - all in one week! So it was a bit of a rush-job, but I managed to get it done in time, thankfully.

Linda was in Stockholm for a few days for some lectures, and she came back to mine on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, I had to take some time out with her to do the last-minute cleaning up at fnord's old flat, as the inspection was on the next day. And then on Friday, Linda had set my phone alarm for 7:30, whereupon she said "right; go have a shower and get to Slaygon's, then don't come back until 6!" So, off I went, and I got an SMS at 5:50 asking me to come home. Linda had cleaned the whole place up from top to toe! She'd evening got some candles going for some added romance. She'd done a brilliant job, and now the flat feels nice to come home to.

This week has been weird - The stress from the week before finally caught up with me and I've been very tired. My BBB show suffered from it as well. Noir (who is in Gothenburg visiting friends and family), Hayley and Defiance joined me and Slaygon; so having people in the room kept me going, but I think that if I was on my own, I would have cancelled the show.

So, I decided on the night that I will do one last show this year, next Wednesday. I'm looking forward to doing a good show to end on, and then I'll recharge my batteries for a few weeks and come back alive 'n kicking!

The plans for Christmas have changed, but that's after Linda and I had a chat about it all. Normally Linda would go to her grandparents, and I would go home. But we decided we wanted to spend Christmas together at her flat in Trollhättan. So she's going to inform her grandparents, and I'm going to England next week, for only a week. It means I'm not going to see everyone I wanted to, but I really need this vacation to wind-down, rather than zoom around the whole of England trying to see as many people as possible. Linda and I have decided to go to England next year anyway; so this vacation will be to visit family.

I'll try and fit in another Blog before the end of the year; but if not, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and I hope 2007 brings you all that you wish for.
