As I write this, my sister and her family have made it to New Zealand and are making their way to Christchurch. I haven't seen them in four years, so I'm super excited. This is tempered by the ever-increasing Covid numbers and the risk that will scupper the holidays. All I really want for Christmas is to be reunited. All Molly wants is tennis balls.

I'm wrapping things up literally and figuratively in the approach to Christmas. Getting ahead of deadline so I can take time off, tidying the garden so it won't go ballistic with neglect and making sure that everything is in place for a fun family gathering (making a list, checking it twice: lots to bake).
Molly will be delighted to meet my niece and nephew who will love swimming with her and playing football with her, respectively. I've picked up a whole bunch of secondhand tennis racquets and balls so we can hit the local courts (two minutes walk away) for fun and larks. There is nothing she likes more that chasing and finding tennis balls (except, perhaps, chasing enemy number one, whose name cannot be said aloud... C-A-T-S).
Happy holidays and may 2023 bring you more of what you love.

PS. I'll be taking a summer break, and though we don't intend to do a lot of travelling, there is plenty to do here. I will start work on a collection of my Jack and Joni and the Time Travelling Shed comics, and it's bound to take more time than I expect. And I might be involved in the census if they can waive their crazy idea that you have to have a car to do that.
