What a disappointment in not being able to post a blog on X-mas day as usual, however, work comes first, paid or voluntary !! and with two twelve hour shifts under our belts the pensioners are now trying to recover after Xmas day.
I think back to a few years ago when we actually had a reasonbly comfortable life, time to ourselves, holidays (!!!), but now, between helping out, training courses, hospital treatments, free time and chilling are things of the past.
Christmas tragedies with a triple fatal road accident on the A68 at Pathhead on Christmas eve when three buddist monks, all seated in the rear of a car died while the driver and front seat passenger survived, (we saw the convoy of ambulances taking the deceased to the City) and x-mas day a family died on the M6 motorway near J14. I also heard from a friend in the USA whose sister died on X-as eve - so sad.
Life being so contrary/ fickle we had a wonderfull day in the (new) Mercat Bar and Grill, Whitecraig , on X-mas day with a full house of lovely guests who were were very complimentary about their meal and treatment. We even had the lovely Alana and family there, what a surprise to see her after such a long time after she left us at the Mercat to move on to pastures new. Even Lawrence and Sue came down from the town for their lunch- great that they joined us.
News from the "upside down people" Robbie, Caitlin and Jack,:Scottie; Phil and Debs, who are suffering from the heat in Oz, whilst the "Titanium man" - Graham Briggs (and Terrie), the Karabins and Co in Westchester, PA, are all under snow.
However - despite the sexy tights I hung at the bottom of my bed (not mine) still being empty, I did get lovely presents (no socks or underpants) - Claire and Carolyn, knowing I have a love for gadgets bought me a flexi bendy multi function screwdriver - a mega gadget, and the treat of the year were the tickets for the "Orient express - UK " superb.
Going to try and have a day off tomorrow,
