I didn't go outside at all today. I looked at it a few times. The cats both briefly ventured outside and came back in, damp and complaining. New Year's was fun -- a swift pint down the Magdalen Arms, then a wander over to glittertigger for sparkly dresses, mighty cheeses and a beautiful lambent LED colour-changing poi display. But that was really enough wet and cold for the day.

Today's been all about sorting out some pictures, finishing my Christmas book (thanks mr_snips for the Tim Powers anthology - lovely stuff), fussing cats and listening to tunes. I may also have lain around a bit and had a bath. Ah me, the life, it is difficult.

Now, quickly, before New Year's Day ends, resolutions. Yes I have some! I took notes, they are around here somewhere. Where - ah, here we go.
