I did want to wish anyone who might drop in to this blog by chance or design an enjoyable holiday. Yet I was completely unsure what kind of "card" I might post here.
Then I noticed the board which I have on the wall in front of me as I write. I've covered it with images which, for one reason or another, inspire me, pictures which, when writer's block or weariness threaten, might encourage me to get some work done! But if holiday cards should contain an image or two which carry some measure of inspiration, then the photograph of my board by the Splendid Wife will, I hope, pass as my season's greetings to you.
Whatever you're celebrating, and whether you're even celebrating at all, is of course no business of mine. But I do wish you the most splendid of times, and I hope that, at a time of the year which can be as trying as it may be enjoyable, you have the good fortune to, as we've discussed before, "Stick together!"

Not too many women on that board. Howzabout a nice shot of Kelly Brook or Babs Windsor circa CARRY ON CAMPING?
ReplyDeleteMerry Saturnalia, Colin!
I love that you've got Mulder's fantastic mantra poster hanging over you. And also the Groundhog's Day poster. Truly, bloggers are kindred spirits.
ReplyDelete(Having been to an actually groundhog's day ceremony in Punxsatawney myself-- I urge everybody to just watch the movie. It's a far more pleasurable experience. If I had to repeat that day over and over again, I don't think I would have made it out like Mr. Murray.)
Hello Mark:- that Goons Show postcard on the board needs resting for awhile. I must get myself a replacement with the whole Carry On team. (Ms Babs on her own would be tainted by all those years on East Enders....)
ReplyDeleteMerry Saturnalia to you, Mark!
Hello Bill:- you've been to one of the Punxsatawney ceremonies? That's just .... well, "envious" is the wrong word, because I've not desire to steal that experience from you, but it's something I've always wanted to do since I first saw the movie. (How many times have I watched it since? Once every year, usually at Christmas.) That's one element of my inspiration board which is never going to be replaced ...
ReplyDeleteI do like to think of kindred blogging spirits. It's the time of the year for such positive thoughts.And Mulder's poster is surely one of those spirit's marching banners. Me, I just CAN'T believe, or believe much of it anyway, but perhaps one day I will. I do want to.
Season's greetings to you, Bill!
Hi Colin! Hope you had a great Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteHello cerebus660! - I did indeed, good sir, and I hope that the same kind fate carried you and yours through this snowbound holiday season!
ReplyDeleteGreetings and salutations Colin. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another year of insightful articles about the ninth art from your good self.
Hello Emmet:- you're already well in the 27th by the time I type this, but I wholeheartedly wish you and your lovely wife exactly what you've been so kind to wish us. I'm staggered and inspired to note you've been posting each day over the core of the holiday season, and now I have to read The Santaland Diaries too!
