End of the holidays

For the first time in a lot of years I had the three days off between Christmas and New Year, which, with weekends and bank holidays, amounted to a total of 11 days off work. And I am ashamed of how little I seem to have achieved.

Meeting with friends - 2 (despite its being the festive season n'all, we hardly saw another living soul)

Phonecalls to friends - 1 (and pretty much got the brush-off)

Christmas cards - definitely fewer than last year

Shopping trips to the sales - 2 (fruitless, except for...

New pairs of boots - 1)

Lie-ins - 10 (only 1 morning did I wake up early, and was rarely late to bed)

Cups of tea and coffee - far too many, far far too many

Alcohol - too much, much much too much, but...

Dry days - 2 (amazing in the circumstances)

Time in the garden - a big fat zero, so none of the outside jobs done, trees not pruned etc etc

Murders committed - none (but plenty of urges to murder)

Resolution to work over next Christmas - 1
