Christmastime means that life is different for a while.
I get a break from my usual work and instead spend my days subtitling TV programs of a different kind.
Children's programs, which means typing words like 'splat!' and 'ugh!' and 'ow!', sometimes in a foreign language.
Music programs, with hauntingly beautiful and desperately depressing songs.
Films about tomato farmers that go on epic road trips.
Nature documentaries, with birdsong filling my room.
It also means waking up to grey darkness and taking my evening walk in the middle of the afternoon while there is still daylight. Weariness, coloured lights and mood swings.
