Christmas newsletter 2021

Now that the copies of our Christmas newsletter have hit the doormats of our friends and family, here is a record of it for my Blipfoto journal. Watch out Franklin Mint: you have competition! Other plates in the catalogue belong to various collections: Visitor; Holiday; Is it allowed?; Fun; and Sociable. Then there is the 'Garden platter' and a Miscellany plate.

I had a rather disturbed night with leg pain and work worries keeping me awake from about 02:00am onwards. This meant that I was in no fit state to go for a morning walk. 

My working day focused on planning and feedback. The good news is the Najla successfully defended her PhD thesis this afternoon and will be awarded her PhD subject to the completion of minor corrections.

Exercise today: none.
