Groan, rejoice, or meet me with indifference

I am back.

(From nowhere. The furthest I moved all Christmas was to decamp for a few days at my parents’ house, where the “What’s for tea?” questions were not mine to answer.)

Mixed feelings about the festivities. I am terrible at resting, my husband hasn’t had any time off, and I have spent 12 hours every day involuntarily discussing Pokémon.

But I have hugely enjoyed the break from the rat run of after-school activities, the pressure to log in to LinkedIn, and the responsibility to eat something other than cheese.

(Plus, I did snag every sofa snuggle I could squeeze out of my son while he’s still small enough to want me near him.)

Anyway, I’m back half-a-stone heavier and with a broader knowledge of the evolution of the Fire Pokémon Charizard, neither of which will be any use to you.

What will be useful, though, is my human brain. And you can use it for queries now and projects from mid-month.
