Jólabókaflóð continues.

The graduation concert is behind us, and I have only two more lessons before the holiday break. Practice will continue throughout the holidays, but the respite this season brings is delightful — fewer pieces to cover and more time for “fun stuff,” like the album of Christmas duets for flute and clarinet.

During the winter break, my reading is often a bit more relaxed, too, although I’m thisclose to finishing a few books on my TBR shelf. It may be worth pushing a bit harder than I usually do in December.

Speaking of which, today was supposed to be an off day, but there we were, putting in a few miles before all of the light drained from the sky. Tomorrow we’re planning to walk in one of the conservation districts.
