Harry the joiner comes in the door with a sigh and mounts the stairs with an even deeper sigh. He's only recently out of hospital and shouldn't really be working. I don't know how old he is- early sixties, I suppose- but he seems much older. 

When this work started it was still Autumn- and I've only just woken up to it being nearly Christmas. We have the family Xmas party this weekend and we haven't bought anyone any presents- or so Ailz says. I guess we'll take an armful of wine bottles and hand them out at random.

It was mild first thing, but we're expecting a weather front from the Arctic to hit us this afternoon. The wind is beginning to growl in the chimney.

And that, it seems, is that, The work is finished. Harry the joiner- first to arrive, last to leave- shakes my hand, wishes me a Merry Christmas and departs. I can't quite believe it.
