As promised on Twitter earlier in December, here’s my substack-only Christmas missive. Later on in the post, I’ll do a bit of a highlights reel of pieces published this year, but for the moment I’ll make a few comments about 2021, otherwise known as “the shit boring year”. Following on, of course, from 2020, which turned into a shit boring year even though it didn’t start that way.
Merry Christmas Helen. Like yours, my travel plans are always tentative. Nonetheless, tickets are booked, and all things considered, we hope to land in the UK April 10 2022. I think I owe you a BBQ. Happy New Year. Philip "thephilestine".
Thank you for being one of my inspirational heores this year. Your writing is an example of precise and clear intent, something I strive to emulate.
Happy Christmas
And backatcha! Hope your Christmas is excellent.
Happy Christmas! Good luck with the novel-
"Working on it" as they say...
