Five Minute Writer - January 6th

Twelfth Night, Christmas decorations down. The festive season over for another year. How do I feel about that? Well, the lounge looks bare yet normal again. We don't put much up but as soon as it all comes down you notice the change. Back to school or work for most normality returns. We get back into our usual routines, try to remember what day the bins go out, get the ironing board out again.

So much for festivities, real life is here and we must embrace it. There are new challenges for me including planning a second novel and finding a home for the first one. There is a podcast to plan and a health and fitness 'regime' to establish. So the new year has bought much to do and much to think about.

I wave goodbye to the festive season, not mourning it exactly but noting its passing. There will be less sparkle and glitter, less sugar and gin but it was a nice diversion while it lasted. Time to think about other things, to look beyond the season and take it all in. The good, the bad and the ugly of 2020.
