We did Christmas at Kew again this year. I had a rather excellent boozy, loaded hot chocolate and steak teryaki.



And the lights were wonderful.

Whoops I forgot this existed

In my defence, I've basically been ill since mid-November.

What was probably a variant of Covid turned into a long post-viral bleurgh, then as it started to lift PMT hit, and then obviously I came down with a mild cold because why not.

I've barely started the Christmas shopping, but I have booked myself a holiday to the East Coast of the US next autumn.  Now I just need to find some travel insurance that will cover me in the event of the country I intend to visit descending into a fascist dictatorship.

(I may also have booked to see a Broadway musical while I'm in NY and all.  There are no prizes for guessing which one.)

The first day of advent and the lower floor tree was at Waterloo Station.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

For Bea's birthday the two of us went to see Hampton Court Palace as neither of us had been before.



It was very good, although also a little chilly.
