You know how social events are like buses – well Billy has had a big weekend. On Friday night we went out with his now-ex-colleagues after his last day working at Specsavers in town after 12 years of service. We started off with about 20 people, slowly whittling down over the course of the evening [...]
On Tuesday, it was Raji’s birthday (hard to believe his big-bash was a year ago!) I took him a cup of tea in bed and then just before we all had to go to work, we gave him his present and card, and the card mum had sent. Billy took over with the birthday boy’s [...]
On Thursday morning, I packed my things (badly – in a rush and not knowing what the weather was likely to do!) in to my new bright pink ruck-sack (a present from Billy as I felt a rucksack would be more practical on this trip than a suitcase.) I had a smooth trip down to [...]
Having worked all week last week, and then had an open day in my clinic on Tuesday, followed by my usual clinic on Wednesday, I’m looking forward to a break. I am going to London for a few days and my plans are: Friday, ST GEORGE’S DAY – our annual celebration in memory of dad. [...]

Today, Tuesday 19th January 2010 is my beautiful daughter’s seventeenth birthday. She was always a serious, deep thinking little girl and always took a while to learn a new trick – talking, walking etc. She never learned little by little, practising until she got it right. She just sat, and watched, and then one day, [...]
Having gone to bed late the night before that morning, I didn’t wake up until 7.30 am and to be honest, didn’t feel too great, with a splitting headache and very tired. (I’d had 4 drinks all night – a span of almost 6 hours, so really didn’t think it could be a hangover.) I [...]
Billy was working all day this year, so I thought I may as well do the ironing during the day so I could enjoy the evening. As usual, we were going out with friends for a meal, only John and Dana couldn’t come this year so Tim (Simon’s brother) and Geraldine came instead, making it [...]
On Christmas morning, which was white as our snow remained, I was up first, as usual and had a couple of hours of peace before everyone else emerged for presents. Stephen did not want to get up early, but Raji was going to Church so we agreed on 9.15 am as present opening time. Now [...]
