'Twas the day after Christmas...

... and suddenly everything seemed a little deflated. 

Still, you can hang about doing nothing, feeling limp and lacklustre or you can make something happen. So, I decided to go for a swim - which went surprisingly well considering the additional ballast that I was carrying - and then I rang home to suggest that we go for pizza.

And so it was that my folks, Charlie, Hannah and I enjoyed pizzas and a few drinks at Avanti in Kirkby Lonsdale. Admittedly, our late (2pm) start did result in a slightly disgruntled waitress but as she was one of my other daughters we coped all right with that and a good time was had by all.


It's funny the difference a day makes: there might be twelve days of Christmas left but suddenly playing the Christmas albums seems a little hollow after all the promise of the previous three and a half weeks. Back to the electronica then!
