It’s Christmas!!!!!!! (Quote from Noddy Holder)

We’re deep in the throws of Carol Services and stuff and my wife (Methdist local preacher and chaplain to 2 nursing homes) is deeper in it than most non-ordained people. I think by New Year I might get her back!!
The weather has been dreadful for ages. Rain, wind but mild temperatures. There’s really no incentive to go out walking and my football team have lost……. AGAIN!
However, its only 22 weeks to el Camino, we’re having Christmas dinner with a son, daughter in law and grandson and we’ve managed to organise everyone for the Christmas present/posh sunday lunch at Northcote Manor for January 3rd. The panto last week was excellent (Oh, yes it was!) and 13 year old grandson was a joy to be with!
Sometimes you just have to sit down and list the good things against the bad and hope the balance is the right way round. And I think it is…………. but I still won’t be sorry when the wife finishes work on Thursday!

  • Party Time!

    šŸŽ‰  Splendid party with old friends yesterday. We compared medications, illnesses, discussed the medications and illnesses of people who weren’t there.
