I've just opened the first door on my Advent Calendar; it tells of certain shepherds, keeping watch. I was thinking of a musical advent calendar this year, but I doubt I'm going to have time. Meanwhile, here's a piece I did yesterday by way of closure to Blod-Monath:

The drum-loop comes from Sned, who used to play in Generic, a band we played with in Newcastle 25 years ago - I even played viola on their first EP!
