About to bail on work until the new year. Next: off to Brick Lane to stock up on bagels, then home via the supermarkets. I don't expect it to be fun, but it'll be less crowded than tomorrow.
Shopping done. Next: slice a dozen bagels for the freezer, chop three small white cabbages and put them into the pickle press to ferment, and stew some rhubarb.
But first, the all-important “hide in a dark room and read” phase.
