Holiday lights

A week later than intended, today I got the festive lights up in the front windows. It was easier than last year: I simply reused the same ones, which I have already figured out, and the nails are still there for hanging them around, it was just a case of checking the AA batteries with the multimeter. It's a rather modest display yet, I would like to do a little more in the longer term when I feel more settled, but it is at least enough to suggest that I don't hate the holidays. Someday, maybe even next year, I shall get as far as having a tree but, as yet, I do not even have a sofa in the drawing room.
