One hour blocks are pretty awful, @eth. Any reason why the sleep chunks were a bit less than usual? Good to hear the market was quiet enough this morning, lovely that you can help M. I'm guessing the two of you might be getting closer with the activities you've shared, including the trip to see adult child and family? Pity no hand made cards. Cards to some people are the only remaining part of my xmas stuff (aside from xmas day with close friend and phone calls with mum and maybe some others). I hope I get to doing them. I'm often pretty slack with cards really. I've only bought presents for four people: C, Mum, close friend up here and close old friend down south. Three out of four of them, I bought for online. The other one, for C, I found randomly and easily when at the mall last week to collect mail. Glad the gifts are out of the way. Cool that you have one less meal for the next two weeks. I'm guessing there's generally more cooking around xmas for you.
Video projects are good, though I'm having fairly scrappy attention on them at the moment, mainly to do with it being Silly Season, I think. Nothing really goes to plan at this time of year for me, my brain seems to go mushy and I just let things go. The judging is the main thing I have to do over the next 10 days. I've already watched 88 of the videos, with 26 to go. After that rewatching a 'long list' of favourites, then again rewatching my shortlist. Then may write up something about the winning entries for publication with the results. It's been great doing this, inspiring how many good videos I've seen.
I'm going to head offline to sleep now. Not a long catchup, but glad we've had it. Hope the rest of the day is really enjoyable and look forward to receiving any reply to this message from you when I wake.
