The post New Year hibernation going well; the coldest of turkeys with alcohol addling. No destructomatics on this shift. There are some good events forthcoming ranging from a 30th birthday to a 60th, a writing workshop, a meditation, Brighton, a reunion with North and Norwegian.

The Auz bowlers chucking pies, with ketchup on. Some of the full tosses are just hit; no need to control it or run for those.

Sometimes things are offered then taken away; the carat of enticement.

Saw Zen with the stellar Rufus Sewell and the sumptuous setting of Italy; nice denouement to the first episode.
