Christmas blogging

As I have to travel for Christmas, I will be away for a few days. I have decided to go unplugged - sans calculateur. Without computer. Besides the usual Christmas indulgences I will spend my time with quaint old fashioned non-electrified devices - pens, paper and books.

Happy and safe Christmas - or whatever you celebrate in your part of the world.
