 It is very hot here! In spite of this, my mother's family's Christmas picnic last week managed to get cancelled for rain . My new balcony faces slightly north of east, which is perfect for sunny breakfasts and still shelters my plants from afternoon summer sun.

I still had two Christmas dinners in one day. My girlfriend has a small cousin who is fourteen and queer and just on the cusp of an anime phase, who is lovely. Also we came home with the carcasses of both goose and turkey (her family really goes all out), so we have made a fuck tonne of stock.

I am looking forward to fandomweekly , to encourage me to do writing and fandom participation more, though I'm trying very hard not to make New Year's Resolutions. I didn't do Yuletide this year. Moving house got the better of me. But I'm looking forward to going through the collection.
