The most important thing is to wish all my LJ friends the happiest, most productive (in any way you define that term) and peaceful new year possible. You guys mean a very great deal to me - my life has been immeasurably enriched in all sorts of ways thanks to you.

Which leads me to my first sad news. ( Under the cut to avoid depressing you.Collapse )

Apart from such sadness, Christmas and New Year have been good. ( More about the Festive SeasonCollapse )

I'm not going to do any of the end-of-year memes I see circulating, though I may try to list what I have written and what I have read for my own satisfaction over the next few days. Then there will be Girding Of Loins for The Wedding.
