tvordljGoing to see the Hobbit this afternoon. My friend D. and I usually try to do lunch and a movie at Christmas, either before or after, whenever we can mesh our free time. We exchange presents and have a nice catch up. This year we have travels to talk about. She and her husband took a river cruise across the eastern part of Western Europe to see the Christmas markets. Not sure where all they were, probably Vienna, possibly Prague, a few places in that general area I think. Looking forward to seeing her photos. Those are all cities I'd love to see and maybe some year we can do the markets.
Graham and I had our webcam Christmas present opening last night. We were really on the same wavelength this year. I opened one of my gifts and could hardly wait because I gave him almost the same thing! He got to that gift last and I could hardly keep myself contained! We gave each other ceramic beer steins with the Stark Logo on it from Game of Thrones. The one he gave me is white and the one I gave him is black. Winter is Coming! He also gave me a GoT blank notebook and my other GoT gift to him was a Stark logo tshirt. He gave me a great Doctor Who calendar and I gave him a Doctor Who book, also a calendar but I always do that, get one made from photos from one of our trips. This year's was from Quebec City. Next year's will have a lot to choose from, Rome and probably New York city and possibly even Scotland. I'll have to create some collage photos I think! He also bought me two Liliput Lane Coronation Street houses. That was my "main" gift. :) Those I knew about because we got them when i was over in there in November and I bought myself the other two that were available. His main gift was Paintshop Pro X4. He's been working with a really old copy and I figured he'd appreciate a new one with lots of new features. He certainly uses that software a lot and when he eventually gets a new computer, this one will install far better.
I must look into seeing whether my X2 version can be upgraded cheaply so i can put it on my laptop. The laptop doesn't have a dvd/cd drive though we have a portable at work, i can always borrow that if i want to i suppose. I did look at downloading it but it wouldn't take my key. I should try again and if it still doesn't work, contact their support to say i'm reusing the key because i've got a new machine. That's probably why it wasn't accepting the key.
Guess I better get moving. Got to get a shower and get dressed before going out.
