Well! 2015 is an hour old already here in hot, humid Newcastle. Forgive me, but my first ponderings for the year are that I hate fireworks so much, I could just spit! Everyone's setting off bloody bombs all around the place and my birds, my dog, both my cats and my adult (autistic) son are yodelling in horror!
Why do people feel the need to blow things up like that? Yeah, it might be a pretty effect for five minutes, but for the next day or three the fallout is awful and we asthmatics get to enjoy being housebound while it dissipates. Not only that, but all the Lost Pets sites are positively humming with activity as poor dogs and cats are frightened out of their wits by fireworks. Hah, bumbug! I HATE FIREWORKS!!!
OK. I feel better, having said that.
Moving along, I'd like to wish every single one of you the happiest of times during 2015. I hope that peace comes to the war-torn and I wish a new calm to all of mankind so that we can re-connect and remember how we really are all brothers under the skin.
My little Mum is 93 today and she has absolutely no clue about that or where she is or who I am. I wish her a Happy Birthday with all my heart and I pray I can find just one small thing that will bring a smile to her face today. You don't realise what pleasure you enjoy in giving things to your Mum until she can no longer appreciate the love behind your gift.
I happen to know it's our Tab's birthday as well and I send her every good wish for happiness and success during 2015. Oh, and please post more pics of Fargo.
Love to all,
Trish XX
