I inadvertently missed the deadline for returning my Christmas tree to IKEA.

I'm thinking now that it might be nice now to break it down and use it for a bonfire at Golden Gardens Park. Chris says it's a touch cold these days for a trip to the beach, even with a bonfire. I think we might be okay, though, if we all dressed up warmly and went during midday, when we'd be making the most of whatever warmth the sun had to offer.

And a bonfire! On the beach! I haven't had a bonfire in years. And I've never had a bonfire on the beach! It would be an exciting winter-time adventure.

Anyone up for a romp on the beach sometime in the next week or two? Bonfire! Excitement! Intrigue! How can you hold yourself back?
