This year Peter and I didn’t “do” gifts, preferring to go out for a couple of nice meals during Christmas week instead, and then go to Málaga earlier this week to celebrate my upcoming 55th birthday.  But I also got some lovely surprise prezzies from friends… a third Binky book to add to my collection, two DVDs from my Amazon wishlist and a box of Christmas goodies and cat toys (the cosmic catnip banana is a hit!) from Sweden.

Tonight is the Cabalgata, a parade featuring the Three Kings and hoards of shrieking children, which I will try to avoid. But I still want to see the “mapping” Christmas light show on in the Plaza San Francisco (last night tonight). If I manage to get there I’ll take a video of it. But first some grocery shopping as it’s a bank holiday tomorrow and have been away all week. Hope I don’t get swept up in the crowds!

What did you get for Christmas?

*Important: Ensure all components are free from mud, dung and evil spirits before assembly. Wear appropriate safety equipment (spear, flint knife, etc) in the event of bears. Small parts are not included. If plagued by demons or suffering from pestilence seek advice from a druid before assembly. May contain quartz.

For those of you who don’t already know and love The Oatmeal, you’re in for a treat.

Came across this yesterday and, while it is funny, it’s also painfully true. Most of you know that I work a lot with restaurants via my Sevilla Tapas site and as a result have checked out hundreds of different restaurant websites. I know it sounds crazy but almost all of them have some awful flash intro that takes forever to load, then the music kicks in (and half the time you can’t find the off switch) and you will usually not find basic info like opening times, the address with a map and a bit about the menu that doesn’t require downloading a f*cking PDF.

Next time I visit a prospective social media client I’m taking this link with me…
