It’s the 1st of December today, and so begins a busy month for us.
At work, we have our winter graduation ceremonies, and so I’ll be helping out with these, as well as meeting some colleagues visiting from another university. Due to school holidays, I’m only working the first three full weeks of December, and then I have a nice two week break over the Christmas period.
Next weekend, we’re celebrating a family member’s 25th wedding anniversary with a big meal and a party. I’ve hired a dinner suit for it – I own a couple of suits, but the dress code mandates a dinner suit – and Christine and our nine-year-old have treated themselves to new outfits. In fact, I’m probably spending more on hiring my suit, which I have to return, than they did combined on new outfits that they get to keep. Oh well.
We also need to fit in time to see Wicked: For Good. It’s been difficult finding a time when all three of are available to see it, especially as it’s over two hours long and so not really suitable for a weeknight. Christine and I both love the stage show, having seen it in London’s West End many years ago, and our nine-year-old really liked the first film.
In terms of blog posts that I’m expecting to write – I have a couple in mind to follow up our fibre broadband installation. One is about changing ISPs, and the second is about the new router hardware. These should be going live over the next week or so.
