I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging . Once you get on a roll , its hard to stop . And once you get off the roll , its hard to get back on .
There's been a landmark birthday , when we went to London , flew about on the London Eye ( why do they call it a flight ? ) and whizzed about the centre in black cabs between Oxford Street , mad so close to Christmas , the Royal Mile and theatreland . We saw "We Will Rock You " and then squeezed in a fleeting visit to Covent Garden on Sunday .
Then there's been the usual mad rush to get everything done , the viruses conspiring to stop us getting everything done , the careful placing of presents under the tree and the dog gingerly opening them and having a little poke inside as soon as ours backs were turned .
The ordering of cards from Greyhound Rescue and their failing to turn up until the day after last post ... so if you were expecting a card from me and didn't get one this year , hey ho !
Some unsettling health news for D ... he is now trying to give up smoking . Watch this space . I'm trying hard not to blog about this .
And then there was the cat who faded away whilst I was looking after him , poor old boy . Glad I could be there if it helped , and for any of us who have had to take our beloved friends to the vets at the end , the best way for it to work out , but a sad event all the same and something I still write about with some uncertainty , not wanting to impose on private moments .
But , I'm back , and now I should get on with my Christmas preparations . Wrapping to do . The cake to ice .
For the record , this year I made the cake the earliest I have ever done it . And thereafter everything went pear-shaped !
Happy Holidays to you all x

I was beginning to worry that your passport would be "found" on the shore by Fat Bastard.
Oh no , here I am and my passport is safe and sound and the Fat One is no doubt awaiting the delivery of her cheese pasty as we speak ...
I really cant imagine her foraging on the rocks for it .
But I'm touched that you noticed I was missing ....
To Dear Shelagh, family, Alice and the girls, and all your readers
Wishing you all a very Happy Xmas, and Best wishes to you all for 2009

Happy Holiday's, and having JUST gotten home from seeing Quantum of Solace, I am again reminded Don't Screw Around With The Brits!
