Christmas 2011













Christmas 2011. A few photo's to share. Unfortunately my blog is playing up again so not too much comment - is that a bad thing?
Val started off the day with a Google cuddle. Al did the Father Christmas thing. Ches played at chef for the day - and a bloody good job she did, delicious dinner. I sort of did nothing.
A great Christmas. And an added bonus of Argyle winning 3-2 away at Bristol today (Boxing day).
You all have a cracking 2012. Love from sunny Plymouth.

Happy Christmas part 2

For some reason I got kicked out of Blogger during my last post. As you can see I managed to recover it, but didn't spellcheck or read through, so hope it makes sense!
To continue.....
Since my partial retirement I have taken up a new hobby. You may or may not be aware that I am a Sci Fi freak. I have wanted to display some models for some years now, just couldn't find any suitable. I have now.
Micro Machines made by Galoob. They ceased production in the late 90's so it's e-bay search time.
I now have the complete collection of Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Aliens.
Am currently collecting Star Wars and am on the lookout for Starship Troopers.
Am not sure if I will publish a blog or a website. Time will tell.
Anyways. Love from us in sunny Plymouth and a cracking Christmas to all and have a super 2012.

Happy Christmas

I am aware that it has been a long time since an update.
I apologise!!
Things have gone on here as per usual, life goes on as they say. I took Partial Retirement in August, many times people have told me that if you do retire, albeit partially, then you will fill your time.
How true. The fact that I haven't been on the blog will testify to that!
Four mornings a week the boys and I are our Plymbridge for a walk. On a nice day we can be out for a couple of hours or more. Back home for breakfast and we are past midday! Ah well, it beats work.
Tracey in sunny Australia is expecting her second, so lots and lots of congratulations there. Not sure if Tyler wants a brother or sister. He will probably write to Santa to sort that out.
Big news is something we are awaiting confirmation on. Ches was due to get her degree nisi on the 21st of this month. We haven't heard to the contrary so we assume all went through OK. Big thing to happen in life but sometimes loves young dream just doesn't turn out as one would want.
Al is doing well at school. She is among those that will have to pay for any University tuition so it could prove an expensive time for her. How a country such as ours that relies on good education for its poplace could make such a drastic error is totally beyond me. How is a kid from an ordinary working background going to deal with such a debt so early in life. Our Goverment really does have a lot to answer for, but it's full of millionaires so do they understand or even care?
