THIS IS MY ELEVENTH CHRISTMAS in Ireland and every year the celebration gets better. Today brought me new Cats (note the box in the picture), more Gorillaz (check out the educast where we talk about their animation), Colombian beans (self-indulgence for the coffee machine), and a year's pass to the new swimming pool located just 467 paces away. I got the best presents in the house along with the knowledge that behind the 20 doors in our new house awaits years worth of DIY at home. First up: repair a leaky bathtub. Second job is a minor clean-up of the outside window behind the Christmas tree snapped by my Nokia 9500.
