for the first half of december there was lots of english practice with dani over facetime ahead of her exam, christmas card writing and packing before heading north.
after that, it was they typical whirlwind of christmas, with lots of family and friend’s visits, two races for paulo, a tile painting workshop in porto, and a lot of packing for our flights today. oh, and socks! i finished knitting my first socks ever, and i’m mighty proud of the wonky result. hurray!
that was item number #30 on my list, and this was the year it got done!
i’ve been tracking this goal on beeminder since march and making steady progress on it. after long breaks in july/august and then again in october, things got tight towards the end of the year… so i stepped up the game to include some more swimming and ended up hitting the goal yesterday with one last swim — just in time!
the back is still dodgy, but at least it’s moving a little. onwards! :)
…is a lot of postcards. :) hurray!
one of my favourite frames from R4R-77, featuring the stairs in our accountant’s office, i think… as often happens in with double-exposures, familiar sights become strange and new.
shot in collaboration with felix (aka felixsurplus).
our silly postcard for the year. i’ve started to think of them as our own version of yves saint laurent’s love cards, and i hope we’ll keep up this tradition as long as he did his.
have a happy holiday season!
