xmas - come and gone

xmas has nearly come and gone here for another year. Sue and i had a very quiet day. the first we can remember without children since forever. we got up late and pottered around. no fuss, no noise, no pressure. whilst it was a lovely day it is quite strange to be "alone" on Xmas day (especially in the morning)

while the tree is still flashing most of the presents have now been delivered or collected. i got a heap of things - kitchen related in the main (thank you), but there were some other interesting presents for all and sundry as well (wine), a car, vouchers for all kinds of things so in the main people have done quite well despite the economy.

we all ate well tonight at dinner and everyone seemed to go away happy.

so what does the next year hold in store for us and where will we all be next Xmas. my hope is that everyone is healthy and happy. only time will tell.
