It's been a while. I got a new phone and a laptop, and it took more than reasonable time to get them working - at least my phone is now ringing and singing, unlike some of my co-workers', their phones don't work as phones yet. Great.
Baby Girl is no longer Baby Girl. She's Baby Brother and just as lovely and squiiiishable as ever. We named her as Purr because she was purring so loudly. Luckily Purr is a perfectly good name for a baby boy kitten, too 🤣
He's getting along with his bigger brother, they are not yet sleeping in one pile, but at the same bed anyway. I think Big Brother is a bit happier now.
Right after New Year my office will be moving. I have been 20 yesrs worth of documents and notes and library worth of professional literature. It's kind of sad and nostalgia, I've been working on this old government office building ( built in 1840s) and our new office is just finished! No more individual rooms, welcome open plan office... I'll continue working from home at least 'til June.
We are not on lockdown, but recommendation to not to meet other people during holidays is still on. And with this new variant it's better to be extra careful. My parents announced early on November them will not be at home during Christmas. So we have been able to celebrate as we like, peacefully and with plenty of good food. I visited graveyard and lit 170hour candle for my sons' grave, it will be burning there long so I don't worry they have a dark holidays.
The tree has been tied to the ceiling, so I don't have to worry about it falling when kittens and puppy stary chasing each other.
A very Merry Christmas to you and all your family. And welcome to Purr, who sounds delightful. Over here in the UK we were advised to see as few people as possible over the festive season so we had Christmas Day alone (largely reading, eating cheese, drinking wine and napping!). It sounds like you disaster-proofed your Christmas and I do hope you had a good day after all that's happened. For the next month the only place we're planning to go apart from the beach for dog walks is the gym, so long as it's allowed to stay open. My pantry is groaning with dried goods and tins, there are plenty of root vegetables in cold storage, and the freezer is full, so we're locking down while we see what this new easily-transmissible version of the virus does. I hope it doesn't reach you but it's wise to take precautions as it's swept through the south of England in a very short period of time, and I think the whole of the country will be back in lockdown in a couple of weeks, unfortunately. Still, being locked down with those you love and animals in a beautiful setting isn't so very bad;) Happy New Year to you - I hope we see more posts from you in 2021.
