Last of the Christmas time pic spam.
3 Jan 2011 08:30 pmD-d has set off back to York - I took her to the airport this afternoon, and she should be back in her house by now.
Last night being her last evening at home for a while, we had a house full of young women in their early twenties, and I spent the evening closeted upstairs, leaving them to their pizza, films and gossip. S2C commented this morning that it was clear that the house had been full of women all evening - apart from the pizza and salad they also managed to eat 1kg (2.2lbs) of chocolate and a tray of chocolate brownies between the ten of them... I mainly spent the evening reading and writing - but actually uploading pictures and posting them is somehow easier back in my usual place.
So - there are a couple of landscape pictures and some Christmas themed ones this week - also some where I have been 'playing' with instant effects in Photo-plus, sparked off by something in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cairistiona7's journal.

And, completely back to reality, I go back to work tomorrow, after 2 whole weeks off. I expect there will be at least 30 messages on my voice-mail but the 'good' news is that, almost inevitably, 4 or 5 will be from someone who hasn't listened to the message and rung back, over and over, to ask why I didn't get back to them - if it's anything like usual.
Now, as it is almost 9pm, on JRR Tolkien's birthday, I will join other fans world-wide, and raise a wee glass to the memory - it's sort of like Burns' night without the piper and the haggis!
