I’m not very good at Christmas countdowns. I know people that have been counting down for weeks already. Here it is, December 22 [1], and I’m just getting started. Mostly because today is my last day of work before the break. In fact, it’s not even a whole day. We’re getting kicked out at lunch.

So, with the time between then and now getting a whole lot shorter, I should add a last few items to the Christmas Wish-list.

• Bookends. Yes, bookends. My bookshelf is in desperate need of tidying, and it isn’t overly good at holding books vertically.
• Another book: Le Petit Prince
• A good idea for storing my CDs. They should be easily accessible, but not in the way. And since NZ is kinda earthquake prone, they should be stable, too.
• A guitar tuner would be stupidly handy, and a capo. Both are welcome, so I’ll stay out of the guitar stores for the next few days.

¹ Happy Birthday, Ang. This works, thanks to the magic of the International Date Line
