We’ve been in Essex this week for Christmas and right now I’m trying to type this while also keeping a very needy cat happy.

Christmas was nice, considering, and I successfully wrangled a good Christmas dinner in the little kitchen. With my sister also visiting there were four of us there, filling the chairs round the dining table, so it didn’t feel too much like someone was missing, despite being surrounded by Dad’s books, files, papers, books, stationery, souvenirs, bags, books, cards, notebooks, etc. etc. It’ll never be the same but we had a good time.

§ I forgot to mention last week that we finished watching Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light which was, of course, excellent. It’s a shame that slow, thoughtful drama is such a rarity but there we go. So much happened and so little.

§ That’s about it. See you in a couple of days for 2024notes I guess.
