no more champagne

[freckles_and_doubt]

I have to report quite the nicest new year wish I've had so far. The context is the arrangements for our New Year's Day plans, which entail going over to jo&stv's to watch all three of the original Star Wars movies (I gave them to the EL for Christmas - the original theatrical versions, with the gannet unexpurgated), while consuming the crepes suzette none of us could face last night and cold roast beef leftovers on sandwiches. (Why is it that our plans always revolve around food?) The phone call goes as follows:

JO: So, when are you and the EL coming round?
ME: (still half-asleep and mazed from a 5.30am airport run after lots of champagne last night)... um, round about then... I still need to do the thing, the wossname...
JO: (after brief, confused pause): Good morning, Jessica. May 2009 bring you nouns.

May it indeed. And to the rest of you I hope it brings interesting adjectives, pleasing conjunctions and verbs which are active without being exhausting.

The subject line quote, btw, in honour of the conversation I had yesterday with wolverine_nun.

Do you know if he has had a chance to try out what I leant him?

Yup, he's done with it, it's sitting in my study waiting for me to poke around it. Can return it to you this weekend?

In Betty's this weekend. Next week? I am going to my Aunt's almost every day and can pop in at your place easily.

Cool, bearing in mind that I'm back at work next week so it'll have to be evenings.
