Oh well, I tried handcuffing myself to the love of my festive season. (Ref my post of the 2nd Jan.)
Alas, it didn't stop my determined other half from executing the customary 12 day/night eviction and it was rather chilly outside, so I submitted peacefully. The whole affair has "needled" me a bit but I accept it is no good "pining" "fir"-ever. 😉
