Thanks to a lovely chat with my hairdresser, Mark, I wrote my first Christmas letter this year. I was worried that my life was so boring no-one would want to hear about it. He pointed out that most of life is just trivia but he enjoys hearing about it - guess that's why he does the job he does, and I finally wrote a letter for the first time in years. Next year, I will produce the mother of all letters

Got about half out on Dec 1st - rest out on Dec. 4th - I think that counts...
