And relax...

Tuesday, January 01, 2008

It's been a nice festive period although as ever it all seems to be over far too quickly.

Richard and I enjoyed a nice quiet time at home where we snuggled up in front of a roaring fire, full of Christmas roast (beef not turkey) and lots of nibbles.

On Boxing Day we travelled down to Devon where we visited our friends and families. Miraculously we managed to avoid Christmas dinner until Saturday when Richard and I enjoyed a turkey roast with my parents.

Of course Richard's nephews had heaps of presents, as did my god daughter and her sisters.

My parents have extended the family by adopting two kittens from their neighbour (long story). As you can imagine having two 12 week old kittens running about the house was very entertaining.

Here I am relaxing with Jinx, the little girl.

This photo was taken after our Christmas lunch on Saturday and as you can see I was very tired! In fact I think we all enjoyed 40 winks that afternoon.

I've had a bit of a trauma rebuilding my iBook as my start up sectors became corrupt. It took most of New Years Eve to reinstall everything but 99% of it appears to be working now (I just need to iron out some kinks). Hopefully I'll have it working fully today so that I can put together a podcast.

I cannot quite believe we're in 2008 already - I still think of us being somewhere around the year 2000 but we're not! Where does the time go?

2007 was a good year but it had a number of upsets and I hope this isn't the case throughout 2008.

Thanks to all of you who sent lovely festive and New Years messages and as I have noticed Happy New Rear was very popular!

All the best and here's to a great 2008.

I'll leave you with a photo of Jinx's brother Jasper.
