Last year we had a good Christmas as I recall but tinged with some sadness as we knew dad would be unlikely to see this one. He was recovering from a massive operation to sort out the infections he was getting regularly and whilst this did give him a little respite and probably prolonged his life I'm not sure how he would have balanced that out himself. I suppose at least we didn't have his death at Christmas because of this.
I'm marching off down to the Hospital to get my blood test done - I admit to engineering this in this way because I'd gotten into a habit of going at Christmas time and it means the place is almost empty. I will go in a short while, get my test done, wander back to the Greengrocer and pick up some odds and ends and then I might pop into the Cafe for a Bacon sandwich or something similar. I can walk home or go via my local pub for a beer and say hi to the Landlord and staff. Then back here for preparation for tomorrow. Party tonight is also on the cards.
It's highly unlikely that the piano will go and so I need to put some pressure on after Christmas for that to be sorted out. I think otherwise I will re-offer it to the family and if there are no takers I will see if I can just get rid of it or break it up - it's a sad thing to do but it can't sit in my garage for ever.
I'll probably sign off here for a few days so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let's see what 2013 brings.....
