The silly season is upon us and I am technically on leave from today, but I have yet to close the bumper issue (there are two stories outstanding) and so here I am, at the computer, typing away. Going through stories. When I should be out delivering fruitcake.
On a side note: Last year, many of the fruitcakes I had baked turned bad and mossy when I unwrapped them (or didn't unwrap them and just gave them out). So this year, I stuck the fruitcake in the freezer and so far, it's been great. I have 7 left of the 20 I baked. Kevin got the first one, Ron the second, BC the third, Yaso the fourth, I gave one out at the office (no there was not enough to go around), I gave one to SK because she enjoyed it so much, I brought one for the team during our Christmas party at the office this year, Shabana, Mikey boy, Dadda, Anita's mum, Rose and I brought one to an outing at a farm for a Sunday lunch because I didn't want to turn up empty handed.
Right now I am fielding WhatsApp messages from people wanting to catch up (pre-Christmas coffee), from designers who want to know what changes we need to make, etc, etc.
Just had a long conversation with someone who was let go during the MCO and went into depression. I didn't know. I didn't realise. I knew I should have kept in touch...well, I'm glad that the fruitcakes give me an excuse to.
