I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I opened the ‘Christmas Biscuits’ tin just yesterday. (You call them cookies) They are oat and almond with ginger, and very delicious! I still have the chocolate covered Brazil Nuts, the authentic Turkish Delight, and a bag of coconut mushrooms. (Sweet candy mushroom shapes covered in coconut.) My festive supplies will easily last past the end of January. 😊
Best wishes, Pete.

And do remember ginger is good for you. Wards away colds. Brazil nuts are also good for vitamin C and immune system. So as well as having all that you will be safe from colds, etc :) Win Win! [though spellcheck wanted to say “Win wine” which might be more appropriate :)

I ran out of my Christmas red wine on the 2nd of January, Diane. There was no alternative but to buy more last week. 😉🍷

January is such a depressing month, at least one glass of wine each day is a requirement.

I like the idea of curling up in a cocoon — instead of sitting here in the cold posting and reading blogs. I do have my hands around a cup of hot coffee so I will survive.

It sounds a bit like my writing desk. At one point this afternoon, my pile of writing and poetry notepaper was over my keyboard halfway up my monitor screen. 🌏📕📘😍😉

A fantastic quote and idea for spending the rest of January. As you said, it’s tempting to do that for January! (And February. And March.)

I suspect the cartoonist has encountered actual larvae that do exactly that: covering themselves with bits of what’s around to avoid detection. I’ve never seen the same technique applied to humans — I can’t tell you how much I laughed.

So tempting. I have put most of the Christmas chocolate in the freezer because good grief I got a lot. My buns are round enough, thank you very much!
But oh… I would love to hide and just read.

The journey is always more joyful than the destination. And lazy Januarys hibernating in comfy clothes, warm blankets and a good read or movie are the way to do it!
