I've been trying to find a restaurant here that does crispy duck and I can't. How weird is that? I'm definitely jealous of Danceswithhelicopters. We'll be out camping on xmas weekend, so I'm hoping for bannock, bacon, sausages, and if my pal brings his stovetop espresso thing, fresh coffee with cream. I can't wait!

Good news. I've managed the nag the missis into having a goose. It's a bit late in the day but I'm hoping the local farmers market will have a nicely sized one up for grabs tomorrow.
I've got a 36 pint cask of real ale ordered too. I'm thirsty already. :beerchug:

What happend to your hammock? Is it to cold for using a hammock?
Get yourself a reindeer skin, its much warmer and better than a thermarest in winter.

I never really got on with the Hammock, I can see the appeal but it's just not me as I roll about in my sleep too much, and like you say they are not very warm. Reindeer skin huh? I imagine it would get damp and start to smell, not sure that the guys in the office would appretiate that. I would rather use a skin, it seems much more appropriate - maybe santa will bring me one next year. Some kind soul gave me a roll mat that they got from Milets, lurid pink on one side and blue on the other, it is really warm - I don't use it as I got too hot the one time I tried!
