Someone has sent me a postcard. It says on the front "I try to take one day at a time but sometimes several days attack me at once." Know the feeling? I know I do. But right now it's relatively quiet in the office - a good opportunity to catch up and get everything in order before leaving for St Helena again on 6 January.
We had our first snow of the year yesterday but it's now raining and the white stuff is getting washed away. Can't say I'm sorry. When you live on the top of a very steep hill snow is nothing except a nuisance. I got the car to the bottom before the snow fell, but there's still the challenge of tottering down without going head first! What I need is a stenna lift!!!!
It's really dark this morning and my light box is in action. I really do think it helps quite a bit - I just have it on for an hour on days like this which are so gloomy. It certainly brightens the place up. Does any one else use one?
The first calendars and Christmas cards have started to come in and soon it will be time to look out the decorations which I'm sure only got put away last week! I've decided against doing a party on 27 December for the trains (newcomers won't know that a 7 1/4 inch steam railway runs past my back door). With leaving on 6 January for 4 weeks there's enough to be done without feeding about 100 people! Too exhausting even though it is fun.
That's about it for now. The post is just about due to arrive and a whole load of emails need to be seen to so I'd better stop waffling and get on with it.
