No Time to Spare

Writing has gone far down the list this week.

Root canal treatment, shopping for Christmas gifts, doing some much needed Winter Cleaning... chores certainly take up time and energy, but are worth the effort in the long run.

The rain and wind fall and bloweth as is often the case in an Irish Winter, but good humour is sutained through much friendly banter with friends.

I have even started using the telephone again from time to time.  
Since everybody has gone to ground with work and December duties, it's nice to chat, even if one doesn't have time to meet up.
