I thought it would take ages to shake the habit of naturally waking up at 5am. But the Christmas hols and not having a hungry cat at the foot of the bed over the last few days has knocked my sleep pattern back into social hours. So I was plenty rested to catch a bus to Richmond to meet up with some of Rebecca's old school chums. After that was another check off the old 'post Christmas meetups' with a house visit to Rebecca's Aunt and Uncle. We had a fun debrief about the wedding we went to in June followed by chats about life, movies and Japanese fiction all around a classic Indian takeaway. It's nice that I've been so warmly received by Rebecca's extended family, they're all great people and good company as the nights get colder.
