Christmas is over at the Reeley Houshold for another year MIL has gone home with FIL (Fiancee In Law), Mom has gone home with Sister, and I may even turn off the Christmas Lights. The tree this year was quite small and may just go back in it's box, as is. I had some great gifts from people, and obviously some thought went into them. Good job I wasn't relying on the christmas elves to stock up my underwear or sock drawers - nothing doing. I had some great jumpers, and an excellant selection of quirky books, great for knowledge growth and also dipping into for entertainment. Winner of the Most Unexpected Gift prize must go to my son who managed to surprise us with a pair of goats. Runner up in this category is my sister who bought us a vine, in a vinyard. I read the small print, and I don't think that they expect me to go and do the weeding. If they did, I think I would send the goats! I even had a call from my brother this year on Christms Day,albeit as Dr Who was about to start, so I must confess to cutting him short, MY BAD!
Apart from the uncertaintity about Yvonnes Lump, (we may have to go private again), it has been a most excellent Christmas, not perfect because of the lump, but all together most excellent.
Next Christmas I would like to spend in the Maldives, alone, with me, my wife, my meds and a laptop to write. Ah, no commercialism, and pure bliss.
Mom's birthday next week (2nd Jan), so a trip up to Redditch for Lunch I think. I'll see if the twins can come with. May post a photo or two yet.
