Tasmania, Ischia, Japan oh my! What an adventurous 2025 you have in store. So happy to hear your body continues to rally and mend. It’s been a joy mingling our lives over here and I look forward to more in years to come.

Thanks for explaining what a busman's holiday is! I always rather loved that term. Think I read a mystery titled that. Take care and rest up, while quietly writing.

Enjoy your break, Jan! And thanks for the mention :-) I totally relate to 'sneaking off to write' in the festive period. An absolutely necessary survival tool. Thanks for the great suggestions re little white lies.

My pleasure Ros! Yes, my dad and grandad were masters of disappearance at Xmas time. We gotta get it where we can. Seasons greetings and all the best for 2025!
