Not as much as I would have liked, that’s what I’ve done this week.

Christmas is not just one day or even one long weekend – it’s a whole damn month. I’m certainly not complaining – I love Christmas – but it does create a bit of a dip in the work rate.

Having said that I did manage to take my second of three tales over a thousand words, and it – like the first one – is almost ready to bring home.

I did promise myself that I’d have them completed in time for the 25th. It will be tight, but I’ve got a week off work leading up to the big day so I’ll get them done, even if I have to stop wrapping presents to do it.
