This is more a decision for Spring, but I've been considering the appeal of a small duck pond in the back garden at the cottage.
We could recreate a very miniature St. James park right here, bench and all!
But how to convince @mrajcrowley.bsky.social?
Perhaps I'll simply leave this photo...?

It's always a bit startling when the old month bows out and the new month steps into place without making a sound.
One simply looks up from one's tea, and there is a clean new page on the calendar.
Merry we meet, December!
You've caught us in a flurry, but you are very welcome indeed.

A simple village dance somehow struck me spellbound.
Unspectacular venue, ordinary food and drink.
But the mood was so uplifting, the revelers so relaxed and welcoming and so bloody jolly that one could not help being swept away by the sheer delight at sharing the evening.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

After a shamefully indulgent day of rather torpid leisure (I remained in my dressing gown all day, and Crowley in his duck pyjamas), I must make to move about today.
A bath, to start, then sturdy boots and tweeds and a proper breakfast.
Today, we shall go walking!

Would you mind terribly if Vivaldi "wowed" us with his miracles?

There's something inexplicably cozy about rain pattering on the windowpanes in the very wee hours of the morning, and you've no obligations looming once the dawn breaks.

I worked up rather a hearty appetite on my hike today.
Can't wait to tuck into that shepherd's pie...

Jolly walk into the village today!
Crowley opted to have a lie-in, so I trundled my trolley along to haul home my "trophies."
Obtained makings for a shepherd's pie, called in at the library to arrange a book collection for the holiday season, and popped into the bakery for pain au chocolat.

Amazing: NGC 5335 in exquisite detail.
This flocculent spiral galaxy features patchy star-forming regions and no clear spiral arms, giving it a soft, irregular appearance.

Neither of us were terribly peckish on the drive down to the cottage, so just motored through.
Later, I put together a very presentable pasta Primavera out of some bits and bobs we had left here, atop some fresh pappardelle. Bit of shaved parm and dinner was served.

Back at the cottage, safe and sound!
Before we left this afternoon, I was standing at a bookshelf, selecting a few volumes for later.
Crowley walked up behind me, circled his arms round me and rested his chin on my shoulder.
We just stood and swayed together for a moment, then he kissed my neck.
