It took me a little while to get back into the swing of things. Somehow that one working Monday left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I had to try really hard to shake all thoughts of work from my mind and get rid of a feeling of underlying dread over the inevitable end of the holiday looming somewhere ahead.

Filling the flat with the smell of baking seemed to do the trick. Can’t wait for tomorrow now. Bring on Santa! 😀
