Well, waking up early in a day off is lovely, exactly because of the going-back-to-bed option. It looks like you have a very nice day planned.
Did you know Victor and Thessaly will be staying with us in January?
No, I didn't (I'm so out of the loop of, well, anything, these days). That's great!
I've only been able to meet them for a really short time, on the evening at Nora and Tom's, in which I hardly got to talk to either of them. It wasn't nearly enough.
