Now I've recovered/sobered up, ( :wine: ) I wish you all a very happy New Year - I know some very lovely happy people and I know some very lovely rich and healthy people but sadly they are don't often appear on both lists - you can buy a pretty good approximation of love but you can't buy happiness so I am only wishing you a happy New Year on the basis that if money and health make you happy then they will follow..............

Yes, Mary Poppins is alive and well and living in Berkshire............ :lol:

2011? Bring it on!!

An elderly patient of mine, feeling rough one evening, as he went to bed, looked in the mirror and said "Goodbye old chap, I don't suppose I will see you in the morning."

However he was wrong and lived a few more years.

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the timely greetings Mary - even though I missed them at the appropriate time :) .

We saw the new year in at 'home' (my daughter's) with The Hitchhiker's Guide and a bottle of Killawara Dusk. Made up for it the next day: caught up with one of Jess' friends who works in a mine in Western Australia, but happened to be close by for a few days, for a quick drink en route to the beach. Didn't make the beach, but had a wonderful afternoon with a bunch of dogs, a dam almost full of water, and an esky of beverages. I was promoted to driver, but did manage one Vodka and Blood Orange, which I can highly recommend :) .

Have had a fantastic two weeks here in the desert/outback. The unusual amount of rain this year has meant that the scrub is still green and vital - unlike the sad, thirsty landscape I was expecting. Add this to some magnificent coastline about 70 km south, and I am in paradise. Returning to work is not appealing to me at all. I am scheduled to return on Thursday, but before I left my Supervisor did say that if I felt like using up some of my time in lieu, so I just might stretch things out until next Monday.

Happy days - and may they continue for the whole year for everyone.

xx

A belated greeting for 2011 from me !

Quite an eventful Christmas, with a streaming cold which turned into bronchitis over the new year.
