I had planned to start work today, but failed miserably. I thought I might. There's always tomorrow, I suppose.   I went to a kendo practice this evening, and for the first time in about a year and a half I had a full set of armour and so was able to participate fully. This was possibly a mistake. Bits of me are now rather painful and bruised. I do kendo for fun, you know.   Today's advent calendar image: Santa. Possibly a bit premature, all things considered.
