Thanks for all stopping by and saying hello on my thread. Hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas Day (well, in the circumstances anyway).
Managed to get my backside to the gym to work off that burger. It was enormous. Two burgers in a brioche bun, with bacon, chees and onion rings! Got job I hadn't anything else apart from a yoghurt. Got the flat cleaned and looking good (I know men are suppose to live in smelly caves, but I like the place to feel like I could bring somebody around if I wanted) and settled down for some festive TV. Unfortunately, my festive tipple had to be substituted for Baileys - the off licence had run out of Glayvar!
Called the kids yesterday, but did so on my SD's phone, as she had been pressured in to going with W to help look after them. My D was really excited to talk to me (I heard her shout DADDY!!!, when my SD called her over) and even my S, who has very little speech managed a muffled 'Merry Christmas'. I didn't speak to W.
Quiet day catching up on stuff on TV and then I got down to sorting out the kids presents for when they get back. Managed a traditional dinner for myself and generally got through the day, without thinking about W all day.
George Michael was one of my W's 'fantasy dates', so the news that he has died at such an early age will have sent her spinning today. Let's face it, 53 is no age to go. I know he'd been seen less in public, and had been pilling on the pounds, but he was still a good songwriter and performer. A bit like us all really, we age, some of us better than others, but that doesn't stop us being the person we are inside.
Anyway, it's been snowing here, but hasn't laid and it's now sunny. The temperature has dropped and it's certainly colder than yesterday. So, going for a long walk later (weather permitting) and then tomorrow, I'm off tho pick up the kids presents.
