We’re a week into the new year and I hope it’s been treating you well so far.
I’ve already scored myself a scar. See?
This is also the time when our brains need to wake up from all that indulgence over the Christmas period as we head back to work. I’ve seen a lot of memes and gifs this week of sleepy pandas captioned with similar sentiments. On a day when I was struggling, I popped into the above bookshop to browse the titles and enjoy the company of kindred patrons. It usually helps, as it did this time. If you’re feeling the same way, I suggest you try it.
At New Year’s, we sat together and I asked my traditional question of what goals we all had for the year. I usually hear crickets at this point, so you can imagine my delight when Keira said she wanted to go vegetarian for a week. Just to try. I can’t say my enthusiasm was met by the gentlemen of the household, so we’re in a split ‘his/hers’ meal preparation situation but, on the whole, it’s been easy. Easy!
One last thing I’ll mention is the three-part BBC adaptation of ‘And Then There Were None’, which was shown in the UK over Christmas. Fans of Agatha Christie will be familiar with the plot – but that won’t matter. They’ll still enjoy the story. I know I always have.
I told the hook to Keira: “Ten people go to an island and they all die – but who is the murderer?”. Here’s the trailer if you’d like a peek.
