Starting the holiday at home

[mtbc]

Despite some difficulties, I managed to get a work project running reasonably last week and it is a relief to have the initial delivery behind me. The remaining to-do's can wait until next month.

This weekend's quite windy. I am now back from a walk over the squiggly bridge into the city centre to buy a few small items, at least it is more sunny than rainy right now. I returned home over the pedestrian suspension bridge near St Enoch Square. Especially near the Clyde, I had my hat pressed quite firmly over my head lest the wind take it.

Over the holiday, we will have a quiet time. My kids are in the US, R.'s are in Asia, it's just us and the animals for Christmas while our kids see extended family. It's great to take a breath, catch up with things, and enjoy being together.

I'll bet it's quite the relief to have that project moving along and this phase behind you!

Friday was our last day until the 2nd, I shut down interlibrary loan for Friday through the 1st as I knew the odds of any mail going out on Friday were pretty much nil, I didn't want an outbound book sitting on our side for a week and a half.

It's nice to have a break or a bit of rest. So many are busy during the holidays, and I've learned over time, it's sometimes better not to be...to just be.

After Monday, I'll have the 24-29th off, then I go to the new location for two days, and take another little break, and in again on Jan 6, or that's the plan at least.
