Friday 16

Went to Southport

Exchanged my brothers Christmas pressy (the record rack.. I wonder why?)

Got the rest of the wool (I recall that you used to order your wool, they would batch it and you would leave it in the shop to buy when you could afford it)

Met 'J' accidentally

She came for dinner

It really cheered me up (nothing has changed there in 29 years!)

Sam phoned he was in a terrific mood! (erm was that sarcasm?)

My old boy PC is playing up and I am on lappytop, so anything I have scanned is sitting on there not here as this is not set up for the scanner!

Well, all good things come to an end and I am back at work tomorrow. The Monday Blues will be bigger than ever after having been at home for 4 weeks (how fast did that go?) can't even think what I have done in that month, granted 2 weeks were taken up with mind bending painkillers....

There s some sunshine on the horizon though, shortly after I get back to work I will be getting a new team (well 1/1/09 & not before time I can tell you)..
