The acceleration of December is occurring.
There's that point somewhere in mid November when Christmas and the end of the year seems far in the future, but then an initially imperceptible acceleration occurs across the next two or three weeks.
Shopping and general social preparations alongside work-related deadlines. And weekends pre-allocated. I've some extra business trips to work in too.
This year its not been so cold yet either. Hardly any frosts in the morning.
Early darkness, long midday shadows and glittery stars and orbs festooning the streets as give-aways of the season, but surprising sunshine and blue skies between the rain.
I've realised that I still have plenty to do before the holiday season starts. I must somehow compress time for the varied tasks of the next two weeks.
Whoever first thought of the reasons for celebrations at this time of year, it somehow feels right, as we approach the point where the days will start to lengthen again.
