The week between Christmas and New Year's has that unreal aspect to it. Some businesses are back 'on the job'. Some not. Kids not in school so the energy and traffic to and fro is more and less. There was frost on the roofs this morning (not a result of the week other than occurring now, I suppose) and my car did a bit of a skid as we tootled down an otherwise deserted road. My Ontario hands gripped the wheel in some sort of memory of steering into a skid (not needed!) but my British Columbia eyebrows shot up in surprise.
