This is not good - we have a train to catch in Hanoi 1.5 hours after our new scheduled arrival time. M is on the case but it's not looking good.

Did it work out okay?

Just opened up the 23rd door on my advent calendar. At 61 this is the first time i have had one so was surprised and disappointed that it only went up to the 24th. I always presumed you got a 25th sweet.

Anyway wife is still at work and this was the highlight of my day so far

Saved Christmas

Dog chewed the connector off a set of tree lights. Which are integrated into the tree.

Not a pretty result, but they work (after soldering them the wrong way and re-doing).

Sorted out my bike tracker, which has been complaining about a lack of connection for longer than I should have left it

Yes, thanks Taipan. M managed to get the booking changed to a later train which we boarded from a little used station further up the line. Not as plush as the one we missed but it got us to the right place.

Sat in the local with the wife, just finishing off my third pint of Star.

The wife has just taken the £100 jackpot from the bandit, with only a £25 investment!

Better than the bond's that.

Well, we found out yesterday that our friend John had died the day before. He was a massive gambling fiend.

Her in doors sent flowers to the widow.

The jackpot just paid for them, the wife is taking it as some kind of weird gamblers karma.

Right now buzzing with pride.

Mrs Y was supposed to fly to UK on Boxing Day to see all her family for 6 days. They are very close.

But she's so worried about me, that she wouldn't have enjoyed the trip.

I tried to push her and could probably have coped, but no.

She had a big smile so no negativity from her.

Gonna try to do what I can to make it special for her.

On one of the last trains home as the network shuts down at 2000. Engineering work is already starting. Off to see the Outlaws when I get home. Then bed and up for a 12hr shift tmrw.

Waiting for dinner. Couple of pints in the pub wih dayghter and son in law, couple of G& Ts at home, red wine opened and breathing and wife is producing Beef Wellington and trimmings.

I am a happy bunny.

I've just faked the reindeer bites in the carrot left out on the fireplace.

Disposed of the glass of booze, too.
