There’s not a lot to say this morning.
Fingers Crossed 🤞 I have a working refrigerator when I get home from work today.
It’s my last day at work for 2023. Our holiday break starts next week. The holiday break is one of the best perks of working at a university. The museum (and campus) will be closed from December 22 to January 2. I won’t actually go back to work until January 5 because I’m taking some time off after the first of the year. All of my coworkers took time off this week, and since I wasn’t going anywhere for Christmas, I didn’t mind having the museum to myself for a few days.
Lastly, it’s the first day of winter. It feels like it, too, at least temperature wise. Right now, it’s 22 degrees. However, it doesn’t look like winter. With the rain and moderate temperatures earlier in the week, there’s very little snow on the ground. While it’s cold today (our high will only be 27 degrees), it’s going to be 42 degrees on Christmas Day. It feels like I’m in the movie White Christmas, which took place in Vermont where there was no snow. Unlike White Christmas, I don’t think we’ll get any snow at the last minute to make a picture perfect movie.

That looks like “Love in a Cold Climate”!!
Are you familiar with Nancy Mitford’s book, published in 1949. It has two aristocratic homosexual characters, neither of which, sadly, are particularly pleasant – not like the lovers in your photo today.
Her own family had more than their own fair share of nutty aristocratic types.
