Monday…Winter Solstice!
Dec 21st 2009PeterGetting My Life Back!
Today is the shortest day as we run up towards Christmas! And it looks like being a white one as I drove back last night to find a dusting of snow, and a little more in the car park outside the flat this morning!
The last two weeks have continued to be busy both at work, as we clear the decks for next year’s activities. I have been on a few visits to past haunts, and the weekends have also been spent catching up on things. I have found the Christmas decorations for the blog though, and put those up yesterday, and at the same time updated the bloging software, WordPress
As with last year, we are not sending out Christmas cards, with the money we would have spent will be sent to LeukaemiaCARE. I will put the newsletter up here in the New Year.
However the highlight of the weekend was the celebration of my father’s 80th Birthday. My sister and her family came down and we all went out for a meal – there are some photographs, but on my father’s camera – as soon as I get them I’ll post a couple up here! Happy Birthday Dad (and Happy Birthday to Mum, for tomorrow.)
And before signing off, I must mention my Godmother and ‘Honorary Aunt’, Eileen, in New Zealand, who wrote to me about 2 months ago. A reply has been on my ‘To-Do’ list since then! I will reply – really – but you are not forgotten, and we all wish you a very Happy Christmas!
I will be posting before Christmas itself (I finish work on the 23rd – but until then…
Onwards and Upwards
