An orgy of consumerism (by my standards)

[jack]

Friday was Pip's party, which was lovely, and, as always, filled with beautiful decorations and nibbles. *hugs* Thank you!

Over the weekend mum came up to visit, which was nice. On saturday we went out for lunch and had an evening in, and on sunday we did a spot of electronics shopping and had a walk round Milton country park.

It was pleasant, we had a chance to chat, and relax, and swap technical war stories, and watch some firefly and torchwood. I'd forgotten how good Firefly was. And decided on balance I really do quite like Torchwood. I will report tonight :)

Also this weekend I have:

* Bought mum a Tesco own brand DVD player. I splurge on my early Χmas presents, yes. (As for actual χmas, well...)
* Set up my coffee machine. It's official I like my coffee like I like my women: cyborg and futuristic and on my kitchen table I have been converted to drinking real coffee.
* Set up bookcase #₁2. Maybe I should sort books by ternary goodness, binary height, author, and publishing order.
* Um. OK, I haven't been very decadent after all. I've thrown away some cardboard that might in theory have been useful one day.
