Just two days after receiving my Reddit Secret Santa details a large parcel arrived by courier. The first time in three years someone has actually bothered to send me a gift. So that for starters made me very happy.

Bad news though. I wasn't prepared to open said gift until 25th December, so couldn't thank my Santa until then. Sorry nice person if you've been worrying.

Anyway, this morning at about 2AM after the children had gone to bed and we'd finally finished tidying my wife reminded me about the parcel and we thought it would be a good idea to open.

The suspense!

Wow man, girl, human type person! You got me something really cool! A rad planetarium and Space picture projector that I can share with my two little ones, both who are Space mad! As soon as I get some batteries I'll give it a whirl. In fact I might pinch some from my three year old's annoying sound generating thingy.

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!
