Winter Break.

The winter break began quite unceremoniously, with most of us in various stages of unwell. The weather has also been cold and wet, perhaps making it a good time to stay home.

The highlight of the break, so far, was probably our fire pit. We toasted marshmallows and hot dogs on it and we had a great couple of hours outside.

Our neighbours brought over some beef stew and rice yesterday evening, which was a godsend, especially since they didn't know we've been unwell.

Flu season has hit us hard and it's been a painfully slow road to recovery.
