John in 2007 - young and foolish.
(This photo is taken quite close as I was sitting in a church service, suddenly remembered I hadn't yet taken a photo for today and had to try to cover the flash...)

I have a huge flag on my wall (one of my favourite possessions) - a prize for anyone who can tell me which country it's from!

I finally got E4 today - Friends is on like all the time!

Meet me at St Pancras - The statue at the front of the brand new St Pancras International station, London.

I popped and just couldn't stop...

My African Salvation Army shirt - one of the coolest presents I've ever received!

Happy Christmas!

Carol singing!

Although it was beautifully decorated, Katie couldn't understand why I didn't think this particular one deserved to be called a Christmas Tree.

How cool is this?!

One of my favourite places in London (the British Library) - although the building in the background is pretty cool too (St. Pancras Station).

Rather than have another photo of me feeling ill, here's a fat robin.

Feeling iller...

Feeling ill...

Oh no. I opened Day 18 on my advent calendar.

Carolling! (Josh loves carolling - I don't know whether I needed to add that...)

I had no inspiration for today's photo, so Ben and Heather got into the stable for me. I'm not quite sure what Richard's doing.

The frumpiest mannequin I have ever seen... But on the photo it just doesn't look particularly frumpy. Where's the frump?! WHERE'S THE FRUMP?!

The task ahead...

Halfway through the advent calendars! (Yes, I have two, but apparently thirty is the most a person can have without being greedy, so I'm ok).

A bauble from Bratislava on the Christmas tree.

Heaven.

Germans on the Pier.

My first piece of Christmas cake, 2007

"No, lady in Stationery Box, does it look like I work here??"

My first mince pie of 2007. Nice.

On my journeys through London, I've seen a lot of tourists stop and take this shot of Fenchurch St. I'm not exactly sure why, but I thought I'd join them.

The Christmas lights at University College, London (UCL).

The shoes from Friday are STILL wet.

John realised that he may have started to put some of the two and a half stone he lost back on when the button flew off his uniform trousers...
