OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.
After yesterday’s laziness, I was up early today and started work around six a.m., continuing until around two in the afternoon, lockdown- and festive season-style: in bed. Then, it was time for a shower and some food shopping and house cleaning. My love came to dinner and I braaied for us again.
Simply delicious (even if I say so myself).
It seems that the Mountain might prevent me from seeing the spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime planet alignment, but I will be out there hoping anyway …
One of my book reviews was published today: LitNet. And Joanne Hichens’s Death and the After Parties went live on Kindle this evening. Ebooks are not my cup of tea, but I meet readers all the time who prefer to read on their devices.

First: The Great Conjunction!
“On the night of December 21, the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will appear so closely aligned in our sky that they will look like a double planet. This close approach is called a conjunction. The fact that this event is happening during the winter solstice is pure coincidence, according to NASA.” – CNN
Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
“Physical distancing remains one of the key strategies to curb this pandemic.”
