Finding a stolen and burnt out motorcycle near their grandma’s house was an education for the girls…

A very merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!


Somebody’s not enjoying the festive season.

“The way nature brings peace to my busy mind feels like one of the most abandoned parts of who I am. Slowly I am rekindling it. I walk in the woods and I feel at ease. It becomes easy to hear the world whisper, ‘This is everything that is happening right now.’“

This rather elderly angel used to top my late parents’ Christmas tree.

And now she tops ours.

So, after having two vaccinations on Saturday (flu and COVID booster):

  • Sunday I spent barely able to stay awake and shivering all the time
  • Monday started with headaches and lethargy, but improved thereafter
  • Today, I feel great.

So happy I’m boosted and done. 💉💉💉


I suspect that the best use of my evening would be ensuring that there’s enough good coffee and whisky in the house to see me thought what feels like the inevitable lockdown #4.

With that, and the flu and COVID booster vaccinations earlier, I feel prepared.
