New Year's Eve

Huge apologies to myself my blips have been few and far between over the last two weeks due to my back. It's been difficult to get dressed and wash and alternate between sitting lying standing and walking.

New Year's Eve was the first day of being officially up dressed washed and a hint of normality since Wednesday 19th December day one of bedridden back drama.

Uncle Keith and Aunty deb dropped by before travelling back to France the following day.

Followed by a walk to stu and em's in Donnington for an impromptu (I say impromptu arranged the day before and morning of NYE) where we celebrated with a Christmas good left over feast, playing random tunes of our choice on the iPad and a couple of card games fest - I'm not sure if the company was so fabulous, the card game so competitive or the booze flowing far too freely but whatever the reason we appeared to miss welcoming in the new year by 7 minutes!

I do believe this evening stu managed to cure me of a life long love of whiskey. At least I am blaming stu - bug I could as well blame the pink champagne, apple gin, red wine of sugar cane cocktails.

Whichever of the above I don't remember any of the mile long walk home nor sleeping on the bathroom floor til 4.30. Husband advised I was feeling no pain that night.
