Exciting discovery of yesterday: Marché Jovi, which is the Marché Joannette of Hull, it seems: a grocery store run by someone excited about beer and good food.

Christmas has snuck up on me a bit, with my epidemiology course running to the last Thursday, but I think we'll have a good holiday. I've got the week between Christmas and New Year's off, and we'll have a couple of out-of-town guests who I'm looking forward to seeing: one of my prodigal co-workers is in from Missouri, and Elizabeth's cool cousin is coming down from Winnipeg. We've had plenty of opportunities to get out and be festive to date, and taken many of them, including amazon_syren's solstice gathering last night, which was fun and very tasty.
