where has it gone

The year I mean,

anyway I wake up this last day of the year to a dark and very foggy frosty morning,(all through the holidays I have woke at the same time I do as if going to work) so no" lie In's" for me I guess.

I always tend to look back at the year gone and wonder what have we done?

well here in brief

January=it rained and we got our new doggy


February=it rained and took our doggyout in the rain and got wet.

March=it rained

April =it rained

May =I think we saw the "sun" but it rained

June =it rained

July= it rained

August= yes it still rained but but stopped long enough for my Daughter to be Married.

September= it rained But we mangaged to get out of he rain by going on holiday to the USA.


This is a pic of our last day as we traveled towards Lake Mead.

October= it rained

November= it rained and got cold

December= the rain has stopped but now everywhere is ice and cold.

Someone got a nice suprise with a hot air ballon ride on Christms Day
bet it was cold up there.

It sounds gloomy, but really the year has been good I have managed to get to work all year without a single day off sick, I still walk the dog every day and he is a good and welcome part of our family. I just wish it would stop raining.

The financial depression has hit a lot of households and appears to be getting worse, I don't know even if my job is safe as we go into the "New Year" but after working since I was 15 years old(42 years now) I not too worried if I lose it.

I have never been unemployed and it will be strange for me not to get up and go, and have to re- lie on benefits.

So at this point, I would like to wish everyone who comes in here from time to time a very happy New Year and hope everything goes well for you.

We won't be going out tonight it's too bloody cold for a start and anyway we like to watch the firework displays in Birmingham from our upstairs bedroom window, its warm and cosy and no doubt will be worse for the wear from alcohol abuse.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
