Christmas, New Year, Snow, etc

I've been meaning to post for ages, but totally failed to do so. Some of this is generic fail, some is personal computer-specific fail (playing games in my limited keyboard time has seemed more appealing than actual communication rather more than usual recently; I suspect this is weather-related), some is technical computer-specific fail. But anyway, happy Christmas/New Year/Winter festival(s) of choice to all, and happy birthday to those who've had birthdays recently.

Also, we haz snow. This will not surprise anyone, I imagine :) OTOH, since we're both inclined to hoarding, we'll only run out of food without resupply in about April, and anyway I've been going round the corner to the supermarket most days because it helps keep the cabin-fever under control.

I'm probably planning to continue with the book-commentaries if I can (and do something about November and December, come to that; I reached 120 new books in 2009 in total), but I'm not (for the moment) going to set myself a target number. I might try and post a bit more frequently, since doing a whole month's worth at a time got a bit daunting at times.

Arthuriana

This post is really a message for those who were members of the Oxford Arthurian Society; sorry to those on my Flist (most of you) to whom it's of no interest.

Sorting through piles of papers, I recently rediscovered* three boxfiles full of ArthSoc stuff - Presidential and Secretarial, so essentially meetings of committee meetings and the like. (Some of you probably have a better idea of the specific contents than I do:) I don't want to have to keep them forever more, but don't want to throw them away unless I have to, so unless anyone objects I'm proposing to try and find a suitable collection at the Bod to give them to. Anyone who wishes to object is welcome to do so, provided they suggest an alternative plan that doesn't involve me keeping the things for more than another month or two ;-)

* I knew they were in the house somewhere, but hadn't seen them since we moved and wasn't going to go looking specifically. But now that I've found them....

We now return you to your normally scheduled LJ-ing.
