By degrees

Not a great night's sleep last night as is often the case the night before a new term starts so the alarm going off was a shock to the system and everything was a bit slower than it needed to be. Into work eventually and a steady start to Term 3 for me with just one lesson to teach and some time to get things done. I managed to get it a bit earlier than usual and did a supermarket shop on the way home. 
Still holding on to Christmas, I am taking the decorations down by degrees with my tree being the last thing standing - until the end of the week is the plan.
