A winner, holiday wishes and .... a nap


First of all, the winner of Laura Vivanco's book is Ros. Ros, I will email you separately re delivery.

Second of all, this is me over-and-outing for 2011. I don't intend to blog again till the new year, and I include in 'blogging' reading others' blogs. Since my Google Reader will be overflowing with posts by the time I check again, the only thing to do will be 'mark all as read' and begin 2012 afresh. I'll probably miss a few interesting posts, but I know I need to switch off.

The last two months have been gruelling. I'm more burnt out than I've felt in a long time. I can't remember the last time I felt the need of some R&R so badly.

Tonight I worked late, came home just in time to kiss Mr T goodbye for his night out with his good pal and then put the kids to bed (for the second time) before having a late dinner, my mind still picking over the draft letter I'd sent to a client just before I'd left the office.

But then, I poured myself a glass of Beaujolais, sat down in front of the TV (for the first time in ages) and watched Young Victoria while wrapping the presents.

It was really nice. And I want a bit more of that.

Tomorrow the in-laws arrive. I have to work again but hope to be home early for once and then there's all the chaos of picking up the turkey and making up beds and putting the sprouts on the night before the big day, natch. But you know what? It'll be great.

And I'm going to sleep a lot.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas, in whatever form you prefer.

See you in 2012!
