Festive greetings

Well Christmas has come and gone for another year. I have neglected this blogging caught up in the preparations for what is over so quickly, but it was worth it, and Christmas was great. Unfortunately though, what started as feeling a bit rough Christmas night has now developed into full blown feeling rotten, combined with a really bad chest and barking cough, so I will wish you a brief festive greeting and hope to return, in good health, in the New Year.

Until then, Happy New Year to all of you. May it bring you what you wish for. x

New additions

New fishies for Christmas - welcome to Milly, Molly and Mandy!



Much more exciting though.... new froggies for me!!!!! They are African Dwarf frogs, Dick and Dom, and they are just so lovely - I could literally watch them all day.

Sade - By Your Side



There are days I still miss you. May you always have somebody by your side - even if that somebody won't be me.

Another year wiser?

Well I am a whole year older than I was when I last posted. Officially anyway! I reached that grand old age of 39 yesterday, on the 1st day of advent.

As birthdays post-DM go, I was actually looking forward to it for much more than I have ever done in the last 5 years (I know! I cannot believe where that has gone!) Unfortunately, it turned out to be pretty shit, at least in the day time. Not only did I have to get up extra early for Uni (not helped by the fact I was still up doing my assignment at 2am that morning, in typical OG last minute fashion), I then missed my train (by going to the wrong platform like a durbrain!), and the following was delayed by 25 minutes due to the snowy conditions, so after an early start I was still late for Uni! I also had a presentation to do, which was okay, but not my idea of a great birthday.

Uni over, I came home, only to discover that the club that I had planned for my birthday celebrations had had the music event planned called off (due to the weather again!), and then spent the next hour trying to get in touch with everyone who was planning to come to rearrange to a different, last minute venue. The rearranging was not helped by the fact that my laptop decided to play silly buggers with me and kept refusing to boot internet explorer, so I didn't even have the assistance of Facebook to help me!

Eventually, after a little afternoon nap, and opening of my pressies I perked up a bit, and actually the evening turned out pretty good. Even if it wasn't the original plan!

So, another year older... another year wiser? I'm not so sure about that!
