Mid Jan blues

Well we are in the last half of January and quite frankly i can see nothing to write home about. It's been a pretty crappy start to the year in all respects, can't even pick any half decent bones out of it.
Actually yes the only saving grace has been the snow. I love the peace and tranquility it brings, except for the lunatics on the road who either drive at 5 mph,and hence shouldn't be on the road or the  lunatics in 4 x 4 's who think they can drive at whatever speed they like coz they are in a 4 x 4. Shock news guys it doesn't matter how many wheels are driving when you go sideways, you dickheads!
You probably guessed I am not in the best if moods so I will sign off.
Hasta la vista!

New Year and early 2013

We all safely returned to Four Oaks and looked to NYE with trepidation! A night at the Casino at Star City Casino, a meal a floor show and £5 to spend in the Casino afterwards! All for the price of ...... Wait for it £35 on NYE!!!! I know I didn't believe it and was wondering which bit would be shit. There were 8 of us so if nothing else we could get pissed at a relatively inexpensive rate.
Shock horror we had a great night!! The food whilst basic was tasty and hot, the Robbie Williams tribute pleased Mrs B so she smiled for the first time in a long time and even got all of her not unsubstantial self up dancing! A pleasantly good intro to 2013.
A day to recover then back to work, got the works holiday planning wrong, suffice it to say I will not be back in work next year on the second!

So 2013 is off and running. It certainly hasn't started at a gallop, more like a sedately walk!
Business is so stressful, there is no pattern, no forward view, it's all on a knife edge.
Number 1 son is learning all about the difficulties and pressures of working for himself, number 2 is back in London- phew! Little fella (now not so little!), is as trying as the others. Now he wants to go on a school skiing trip next year to USA! He is definitely 13 going on 23!
So good job I have the annual pilgrimage to look forward to!
