This weekend has been about taking down the Christmas decorations and also clearing up the floor in my study so that someone can open the futon and sleep in here.

I never like taking down the decorations, it always seems somewhat sad even when, like this year, it's been a good Christmas and general holiday. I think it's because it marks the end of the holiday period and the future is full of lots of cold and dark days (which I never mind in the period coming up to Christmas).

My study floor needed tidying as we've people staying next weekend and it's bound to be used. Whilst I was at it, I did the bookcases/shelves as well (although the desk is still its usual mess). I found things here and there that I hadn't seen for a while. Most notably, a pair of baby scans of the duo.

On Friday night,

bateleur and I watched Spider Man 2, which was OK and pretty much as expected. I didn't enjoy the first half very much because it was intentionally a somewhat depressing roll through Peter's efforts to hold down jobs, study and superhero work (although not as bad as Buffy season 6). Fortunately, the second half was much better. I was quite surprised at just how much it followed on from the first one, which was I was struggling to remember. Overall I thought it was worth seeing, even if it taxed my memory in places.
