Holidays over :-(

A truly brutal return to the mundane. Driving rain against the windows woke us and taking Tom to his first school day of 2008 left my hands sufficiently cold that it hurt to hold Monday's first cup of coffee. At least the blustery winds blowing the clouds away have made things look bright and fresh.

By way of coincidence after seeing our friends off to their new life in New Zealand a few days ago, "Wanted Down Under" on BBC1 this morning is following a family as they look for a home in Auckland. Despite the "proper" rain, the place looks fantastic and we're all looking forward to making a visit sometime soon.

Today I'm hoping to take the opportunity to spend some quality time with Tom's Christmas present. Halo 3, Rainbow Six Vegas and Far Cry are all waiting for me in the cupboard. My holiday's not finished just quite yet!
