Starting again

Back behind the desk today, trying to get my brain back into gear as the new year begins.  With things moving forward nicely now on all projects, I am looking forward to the closure that completion brings.  Not much else going on and it rained for most of the day, so no walk.  The dead rosebuds in our garden kind of sum up where we are with the winter.  I thought one of them looked a bit like a bird flying off to warmer climes and that reminded me of our next trip away towards the end of this month.
