Christmas card from shrinetolust!!! Thank you, lovely! :)

I am tired of the winter. It goes on too long.

pepysdiary went to the pub last night and "had a very fine dinner, good musique, and a great deal of wine. We staid here very late, at last Sir W. Pen and I home together, he so overcome with wine that he could hardly go; I was forced to lead him through the streets and he was in a very merry and kind mood."

I'm sorry, the novelty will wear off soon.

Trying to do my DiR Christmas fic, but is slooooow. May end up being an after-Christmas fic, which ought to work all right.

They did not make us play games at our work Christmas dinner, I am pleased to report. They just put packs of party poppers and modelling balloons on the tables, so the forced jollity was at least bearable. At least I appeared to be at the non-racist end of the table this year. Posh-ish country hotel, food average to good. Ish. We had crackers, too. In mine, I got the usual weak joke, plus something the Yorkshire Ripper said at his trial. S got a small false Hitler-style moustache. How seasonal. I mean ... wtf?
