Christmas is over

Well, it’s been nice, but today’s the day we take down the Christmas tree. We had a new tree this year for our new house but once it was built up, we realised it was probably a little bit big for our new lounge. We decided to go with it anyway, which just means that we’ll feel like we have so much more room in the lounge when it comes down.

We managed to get out to the shops briefly before New Year and found ourselves in a bookshop (yep, a real honest-to-goodness bricks-and-mortar shop) where we spent far too much money on books that we don’t really have room to store! We’re still unpacking boxes following our move earlier in 2005 (and nearly a whole year of renovations) and the books are all surfacing now. We do have a shortage of shelf space and will probably have to dispose of some of our older books, so I guess I’ll kick-start my bookcrossing habit again.
