Five weeks before Christmas! And I’m excited because it’s the only real break from work that I’ll get.

Gave myself a pre-Christmas present - a new (Kitchen Aid) mixer - and the challenge of baking my own favourite cakes (Black Forest, Sans Rival).

Ahhh, 2023 done; the year of personal injuries. We may not look it, but we are sadly falling apart.

Should finish that novel I started to the bitter end.

Should get a head-start on my 2024 New Year’s resolution list (when you’re older, you have to start earlier than everyone else).
