Happy New Year

Another year has finished and we are now in 2014, the years are flying by and another birthday is just around the corner.  I will be seeing Chris and Laura who got married last April, they will be coming down at the weekend for the pantomime.  It is Dick Whittington, with Lesley Grantham as Ratty and Toadfish from Neighbours as idle Jack.  The reports from chatting to people is that it is excellent, the best yet at the Grove, so I am really looking forward to it.  The 8 of us will be there so I can't wait.  We were going out to eat first but as it will be in the afternoon of Saturday most  restaurants are shut between lunch and dinner.  We will properly have a buffet at home before we go and we can always have a take out when it is finished.  Mind you I reckon Kevin and I will be going home on our own as the kid's will be properly be off to see friends and to go clubbing I expect.  I will tell you all about it next week.

I have managed to maintain my weight to around 11-11.5 stone, for over a year now so I am really pleased with that, I am a lot happier and have the added pleasure of virtually a new wardrobe, an excellent excuse to buy new clothes.

I wish you all a Happy Peaceful and contented New Year, and when life's trials come your way you will be able to cope with them with a peaceful determination, knowing that you are not alone, and that there is someone else in a worst situation than you.  So when you are at your lowest pray for others, and the burden will be lifted.
