Debriefing

We had an OFF Christmas this year, and if you judge it in its own terms (i.e. that an OFF Christmas – in my view – can never come up to snuff) it was a good OFF Christmas. Dave’s contribution – bringing me breakfast in bed on Christmas morning, and making me a beautiful hand-crafted 3D card. My contribution – keeping the tiny tree-in-a-pot kettled (his word) in my study, and only having half a dozen Christmas cards displayed on the dresser in the dining room (the rest in my study.)

And in 2012, Christmas will be ON. Yay!

As for New Year plans, I am working on a new writing project, and I’ll tell you about it when it’s a little more advanced. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for ages, so I hope it comes off. And I am VERY excited!

p.s. My current header is a picture I took from our bathroom window last January 1st. I’m not sure it works as a header: the full moon seems a little too portentous. And anyway, a new moon would be better for the start of the year. But it’s the only suitable January photo I have, and as regular readers will know, I only have photos up there that I have taken in the appropriate month.
