wordstrings's All the Best and the Brightest (AU, WIP, Sherlock, John, Sherlock) was updated a couple of days back!
***
Two days before winter solstice and it's getting a bit chilly. Chilly in the tropics being about 23-25 Celsius. It's all a matter of temperatures being relative, of course. If the average temp is roughly 32-35 Celsius, 23 is a bit of a drop and calls for cardigans. Although snow in Vietnam is a rather bigger drop.
By way of shameless self-promotion, here I point interested people to go and pick a topic for my blogging meme which begins on solstice: at DW or at LJ, either is fine.
I make a bigger fuss out of solstice (since I don't do Christmas except for decorated malls and chocolate treats) since it is indeed the shortest day of the year: a difference I can actually observe for myself! Also we eat tangyuan, a mochi-like thing. And also 冬至 aka Winter Solstice has been regarded as the start of the new year for some Chinese, and for others it has been as important, if not more important, than Lunar New Year.
New Year Resolutions:
1) Stop being passive-aggressive about... everything.
2) Pay attention to health stuff: eating moderately, exercise, all that.
3) Knit more, read more, worry less.
4) Write.
