Well it seems Christmas has come and gone as quick as it usually does, the traffic has returned to the roads as the "back to work" season is here, either that or people are returning broken or unwanted gifts ir rushing to the sales.
Christmas day was nice, the lunch almost made me explode , so much so that we had to wait for Christmas pudding until tea time as we could not eat it after lunch.
Presents were amazing, new electric razor, new Loius Vuitton "REAL" holdall, new 10 megapixel camera, a commissioned painting of the view from my parents window, including myself and Megan in the corner on our walk.
We stayed in that evening as i had done all the visiting or relatives prior to 25th so settled down to TV, very uninspiring as usual, i think i even fell asleep and missed the queens speech which use to be a family highlight which is now a chore.
My brother and his wifes gifts did not arrive and as we speak i have just answered th door to Royal Mail Services and there is a box awaiting them when they get back from shopping.
I have had many walks with Megan, she loves it down the woods, the ground has been frosty and crisp and although there has been no snow it was white in a frosty way which added to the spirit of things.
Today 27th the weather has turned mild and the ground softened so Megan will be very muddy after her afternoon walk,the temperature is almost 50degrees which for december is really warm.
The tree now looks sad and lonely, opened gifts still litter it's base and remnants of wrapping paper and labels can be found stuck to objects or the bottom of your shoes.
Dad is having a tumour removed tomorrow at 830am from the side of his right eye, the proceedure should take no more than 5 minutes but he is not allowed to drive so i am taking him and bringing him back with mam, Ged will still with megan then return to his sisters in the afternoon.
I fly to Heathrow on 29th, not working until 30th at 0925 but cannot get there on time on 30th so having to go the day before and stay in Renaissance hotel ( BA rate £45.00) and flight was £81.00 so an expensive trip to work eh!!!
Fly to New York on 30th and back in Arora hotel Heathrow on 31st at 9pm, leave for New York again on 1st Jan 2008 check in at 1625 and back about 830am on 3rd January, flying to Newcastle on 1250 flight then driving home to Surrey with Ged and Megan on 4th.
I do miss my new scottish friend but understand his committments to his family and him having to get used to losing something he loved dearly and getting used to someone else, he is a great person and i miss him as a friend.
