I wish that...
...all my Christmas shopping was bought
...I didn't say stupid things All The Time. this amount of fretting is alarming.
...my assignment was in
...Christmas was really all snow and log fires and singing
...Santa would really pop in on Christmas eve
...I didn't have to spend money offending people by how little I spent. Why don't we all bake each other cookies?
...everyone could have a little bit of joy today, just because it's December and Christmas is in the air
...I had office parties to go to, even the official one
...I'd never seem The Office Christmas specials so I could see them for the first time.
And most of all I wish you a very happy pre-Christmas fuzzy moment.

stillness and sadeness
Sunday morning, deep and crisp and even.
There's not much nicer than a proper winter's day. Wrapped up snug and warm, playing in the snow, taking pictures of the stillness...
Wondering where the ducks and geese have gone, as the seagulls screech and bicker for some bread.
Just pretty.
That last one, taken by iPhone in an attempt to share a moment. Doesn't compare very well in terms of clarity, but oh! how it captures the light.
And no, not a sad day. A nice one spent with family and friends, on a tedious trip to the Falkirk Wheel, interesting to look at, not interesting to journey on. Photos for that were captured only by phone due to the camera having a moment and not all that worth sharing. Brilliant guide, very funny guy, also very pleasant to be on a canal boat but it goes so very s-l-o-w-l-y and takes an hour, nearly.
More friends, more family, no stopping today. Severe lack of sleep made this arduous: not a good family member, not a supportive friend, just a sleepy, slightly dreamy, lump.
Sadeness (the e is from enigma: cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur) only appeared late on in a residential care home. A wish tree stands in the entrance hall, star stickers with wishes written on them are stuck to its leaves. Two that caught my eye said "to have tea with my family" and "to go to a football match". My heart cracked in two, so much we take for granted. I would have liked to wish for all the wishes to come true, but there were no stickers.
I wished it to the angels instead.
