Prezzies
More cool toys than you could shake a very wobbly thing at
Some of the reasons that this was an excellent Christmas are:
- A Garmin Foretrex 201 wristband GPS. If there is anything on the entire planet cooler than this, it loses because of the whole satellite/atomic clock thing. I will never go indoors again.
- The Nintendo Wii. An entire generation of children is going to grow up with overdeveloped arm muscles, excellent cardiovascular health and no ability to get up from the sofa. Wii Golf is the reason I will never go outside again.yes I did gesture with enough force to break a wrist strap and send a wiimote hurtling towards the television.
- A digital camera that takes much better pictures than my mobile, but doesn't lead to awkward discussions when I crash: "Stop bleeding and answer the question: why didn't you crash on the other side?"
- Watching Shane Warne's 700th Test wicket. OK, not in person. It was almost 3kms away. But I saw it on the telly.
- Watching the start of the Sydney-Hobart. Go Wild Oats!
- Cheese. If I told you about the cheese, you'd all want some. Tough. It's ours.
