20 days to Boxing Day.

2 days of storm avoidance. Yesterday was the stormy pre-storm. Loads of wind but no rain to avoid so the walking to coffee ratio was quite high. But a coffee shot makes it into the blog.

Overnight Darragh boomed down our chimneys and whistled through the streets.

This morning still no rain so another walk and another coffee, but Darragh was a mournful screaming demon through the rigging of ships and trees were shedding branches. Winds of 90 miles an hour were recorded not too far away from us.  Common sense prevailed and we returned home.

And so to 26 Days to Boxing Day. G represented by December EnerGy.

December energises me, mostly because I love Christmas but also because I have hosted Christmas for more than 40 years for up to 20 people at times. That does not happen without a good deal of energy and planning. But this year no hosting of significance and yet the energy is still upon me. With the added pleasure of knowing that when Boxing Day arrives I will not be exhausted. My cupboards and storage areas are getting the attention I usually lavish on festive planning and shopping, I walk the dogs for as long as daylight lets me and I am reading more books and painting. The G of December EnerGy is being repurposed fabulously.
