Sparkling Streets

My Dear Fellow,

Ice crystals can be treacherous but they are also very pretty. I love the dark cobbles and the reflection of the street lights.

I took this yesterday evening, searching Stockbridge for a stapler at 9pm. It turns out that to complete the big form, we needed to staple passport photos to the form. Nothing else would do. Not blu-tac, not sellotape, not even paperclips. 

I was not going to let a staple stand between me and New Zealand, so hunted around and - unsurprisingly - came back with nothing. 

Never mind, Er Indoors popped into the office this morning and got the required stapling stapled. And now it is all in the post.

And after that week, I feel quite worn out, like a cymbal-clapping monkey whose spring has gone slack. Time for a weekend.

El P.
