Star of Light
Monday. It was a gloomy, overcast day and never got much brighter than twilight. Back to work for me, which feels strange after the jollies of the last few days. The shift was pretty quiet—most potential customers are still holed up for the limbo week between Boxing Day and New Year. I got the afternoon tasks out of the way before lunch, and I was home by late afternoon. Just before I left, I grabbed a photo of this gaudy little star on our work Christmas tree. My family were all snuggled indoors in the warm, watching movies and playing games; Stardew Valley still seems to be in its ascendancy. Poor Dash has mock GCSE exams when he returns to school next week, so he’s doing some revision instead.
