Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone, I hope that this festive season finds you exactly where you want to be.

The silly season is nearly over and hopefully we can all return to some normality after tomorrow. Needless to say I am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends over the next few days, the last week has been taken up, like most peoples, with finding those last minute presents and ensuring there is enough food in the pantry to feed an army.

Not much writing happened this week, and hardly any reading and to show how little, I will leave my post at that and hope that next week the report on progress in both areas is much improved on this week (which wouldn’t be difficult).

Enjoy your Christmas and cherish your moments with your family and friends.
