singing Christmas carols

Hm. Possible postal strike next week. I'd better move up my personal timetable for sending inside-UK Christmas cards and presents. (Along with many other people, I have no doubt. Ah well.)

Dental appointment arranged for Friday, thank goodness. And Yahoo has finally managed to accept my renewal-of-subscription for ad-free email, so hopefully tomorrow I should be looking at a much less crowded screen.

Need to get started on book five. Hold nose, jump in, etc. Also need to work out a name for major new female dragon character. Possibly something to do with garnets?
