Wasted holiday

Friday 2 January 2009, 8:45 am

I have to start with the date and time because I am in Australia and I notice that what I had happily posted as the first day of 2009 was flagged as having been posted on the last day of 2008. That's a big difference.

I have whittled away my 2 weeks holiday without doing very much at all of what I had hoped to do. Granted, there was Christmas to do, and I did go into work one day, and J didn't come and finish the ceiling in the lounge room, but I could have at least done some writing. That's what happens with holidays - plans of getting things done melt away and doing little or nothing feels good.

I will do something today. I will get out into my backyard and sand down my outdoor table and chairs so I can give them a good coat of beeswax. Then my neighbour is coming around with a chainsaw so we can turn a stack of old fence posts into firewood.

And who knows - maybe J will turn up!
