Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching - and I'm quite concerned as my pile of pressies looks very small. I know quantity is not everything - but I do like to have something to open on the big day!!

Snow for Christmas?

It has been snowing on and of since Friday - so will it be a white Christmas I wonder. The whole country seems to grind to a halt when we get snow but I have to say I'm not looking forward to driving in to work tomorrow. However it does look very pretty (when you don't have to go out in it).

Swine flu jab

I had a swine flu vaccination at work on Wednesday - seemed like a good idea. WRONG!! It felt fine at first - but by the evening my whole arm was on fire and I felt sick and dizzy. The next morning I didn't feel any better - breathless with a racing pulse and palpitations. I had to take to my bed.
Feeling much better now though. Note to self - do not have another flu jab!!

Off to Oz

Vickie & Jerry have been staying with us for the last six weeks. Yesterday they left us to stay with Pip & Liam ready for the off. They have now left on their flight to Australia via Singapore. Although their emigration has been long discussed it is strange now the time has finally come and they have gone to start their new lives. We will miss them both very much.
