I have spent most of the last three days at hospital, supporting SWMBO as we wait for MIL to take her final journey. She isn't half dragging her heels, as is her wont.
What were you doing up at silly o'clock?
It depends how you define exciting. I remember walking miles visiting people (some of whom we actually knew). We always ended up at one particular friends sometime between 3 and 4 when we knew a nice bowl of homemade broth and stottie would replenish the batteries.... and off we'd go again. It has been known for us to keep going all through new year's day too.
I must point out this was all many years ago.
Good morning all....
..... and really pleased to see you reporting in as usual Don. (not that I'm not pleased to see the others too)
Well, that's another year nearly done and the list of things that I haven't done grows ever longer. Let's rather say 'the list of things that I haven't done ...... yet!' That sounds a bit more optimistic doesn't it?
Here's wishing you and yours all that you would wish for yourselves in 2012. < virtual handshakes all round>
With the pupils.
We are all convinced that the person(s) responsible for setting school holidays in Durham mus have had a bad experience at school. They always come up with the most inconvenient and illogical dates, especially at Christmas. I'm sure parents would have been happier for pupils to have had a couple more days at school this week too.
