I’ve made the bed with fresh new sheets bought especially for Christmas, the lights and decorations are up and twinkling, and our traditional pyjama party with Sooz has been held… I feel like I’m softly slipping into the luxuriously lazy rhythm of Christmas time. Just have to remember to go to work tomorrow!

Annoyingly I have a bit of a suspicious feeling in my throat and really achy shoulders… I’m trying to think positive and consume as much echinacea as I can. Surely my luck can’t be so bad that I’d get ill for Christmas, no no no.

I spent the first half of this day catching up with some admin work, but my plans for the rest of the day include such laborious tasks as playing with my new lenses and reading magazines. Actually, I better get to the magazines right now, the sofa’s looking awfully lonely.
