Winter honeysuckle

Pleased to see some buds on the winter honeysuckle. What type of crazy plant thinks this is a good time of year to flower? Hey, I don’t care. It’s just nice to see.

Crazy busy day. I discovered something interesting today. I sent fewer than 300 emails in the whole of October 2021. I have already sent 650 in November 2021… This cannot continue at this rate.

In other (surprising) news, we were the happy recipients of a bottle of gin sent through *the* *Royal* *Mail* which safely arrived. I think it was recompense from the people who sent us the one that disappeared thanks to Hermes. In less surprising news, we haven’t yet found a decorator, although we have made some progress on that.
