Janus is the god of beginning and end (alpha and omega).
He looks back on the passed year and he looks forward to the new year.
We look back with memories and melancholy and happiness at the past year
We look forward to 2011 with hope and expectations . . .
Our school holidays are over
Visitors have gone home
We are busing trying to earn a living
Bathroom water pipes are / were leaking
- a new bathroom is in the making
In between knitting is done
(an Astor for anticipated winter warming)
and a pear becomes a painting
(could it be the fruit of paradise?)
