Hiya Friday peops - Happy New Year!
Hope you all had a good one - thanks for all your good wishes by e-mail/text/phone (thanks Lee for dad's) and cards - all well received - loads of updates and photos - thanks Tracy plus Gerry & Jane - all pinned up inside my cubby hole where I sit and e-natter to u all!
Christmas day went without a hitch - caviar canapés followed by mango and champagne sorbet then lamb in port wine sauce and Christmas pud.... we had dead posh crackers again - and I have a few new gadgets to take on my travels. Dad dozed off after leaving mom to sample everything from the wine list hic! I was spoiled rotten and mom and dad got me a 'ra ra cum bustier style apron' - which of course I wore to serve dinner! Mom also got me some fizzy willies for my bath - she knows me so well.....
Went up to Borrowdale for New Year walking with SPICE - really nice crowd - no cranks/weirdoes/irritating farts - except for me of course.... and the weather was quite amazing - I understand a few UK new year celebrations were cancelled - but not us - oh no - we got pummelled by the wind and rain - force 8 gales - horizontal rain - it was worrying cos one of the walk leaders Andy is only little and kept blowing off - probably all the black pudding he was having for breakfast..... we were thrown up against the sides of the river Derwent cos the river swelled like the Zambezi - I laughed so much - at least it was warm - there's something comforting about being warm and wet....
I put on about 4lb, but the Gods have been kind and given me a dose of something which has kept me off work for the last 2 days (first time in over a year!).... it's either the lamb sandwich I took to work on Wednesday or a bug which I hear is sweeping the locality? Either way, I'm not aesthetically pleasing - am walking like Mrs Overall and the recovery phase is rather windy - yes more blowing off - it's good to live alone sometimes........
And on that note - here's to a great 2007 for all of us
Keep the news coming in - it's great to hear from you - Moira have a fab time in Peru, Numpty in Cuba and Shirley - surely you must've gone somewhere exotic?
