It’s been a good month, and despite it being the middle of winter we’ve been quite busy. We’ve been hiking four times, and out in the kayaks twice. We’ve visited St Louis, Thornfield and Carthage.

Gary in the parish hall kitchen (365:13) — There was a time when I would have scoffed at the concept of a drive through ATM. But no longer. It’s much warmer, faster, easier, and safer than standing on a wet and windy street corner. Today’s picture was going to be of me at the drive-through cash machine, but I didn’t like the only decent picture I got there.

Watching the world go by (365:011) — As my errant customer has finally paid me some money, I worked today. Basic website maintenance.

My major achievement of the day (365:010) — Today was a day for getting things done. I, however, took a different approach and chose to sit around doing nothing instead. Well, almost nothing.
