Yes, I’m looking at you lucky buggers that get a break all the way from the weekend before Christmas to the weekend after New Year’s Day.

I went back to work on Boxing Day and will be working through to New Year’s Eve. I don’t always stay up to see the New Year in these days, but I finish just before 9 pm, so it’s an option to do something if I wish. I’m then off for four days, and go back to work on January 5th. Just happens that my long weekend off falls on those days.

It was a late start to the day. We didn’t get out of bed until nearly 11, although I had been awake since soon after 7 am, and I drank coffee and did some reading.

The painter and decorator who was coming tomorrow is now rescheduling the work for after Christmas, so that gives us some time to get things in order when they arrive. I was not looking forward to having to rush around today to try and get everything sorted out so they have easy access.

Kathy made breakfast. We had some fish that I’d bought yesterday that were quite short-dated, so we ate them so they wouldn’t go to waste. I spent a little time processing the video I took at the tree lighting ceremony last Friday and posted it on YouTube.

I made dinner tonight and we had pork ribs with roast potatoes and sprouts and some broccoli and roasted parsnips too. Dug out some music and listen to that for awhile before heading to bed around 8:40.
