Christmas and New Year

This has been a busy and tiring year which seems to have whizzed by. I reckon that there were a couple of months that passed me by, since the last time I looked it was October and now we are less than a week away from Christmas Day.
I have travelled a great deal this year and delivered training events in all parts. As a consequence, I'm knackered and all I want to do these holidays is hide myself away, turn off my work computer and 'phone and rest. I need to have long lie-ins and just chill out with some writing and catching up on the backlog of books that are sitting on the shelf waiting to be read.
I hope no-one is offended if I don't join in the festivities this year and hide away in the flat until the New Year. I'm not being grumpy or Scrooge-like and I'm not down or depressed, although this time of year does usually find me feeling low, I'm just tired and need some quiet time to myself to recharge the old batteries and think about my early retirement at the end of April.
I really hope all goes smoothly on the retirement front and that everything is in place for the 29th of April when my last working day comes around. Once that day has come and gone I will use my time to sort my poetry into some kind of order and see if I can get it published. After that I'll review The Tale and hope to get the first instalment into print. Then I can press on with the next part of The Tale and also write some new poems.
Anyway, back to the present; I have four more days at work before I break up for the holidays which I hope to use to catch up on some admin and perhaps make a day trip to Birmingham. After that I'll be in my cave sleeping, reading and writing.
So I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas has a great time and that the New Year is good to you all. To those who don't celebrate for whatever reason I wish you Peace and Love. ttfn x
