| A "lockdown" jumper |
You’ll
probably know that I started seriously doing this blog in the run up and during
the pandemic. Initially as an easy way
to keep family and friends informed of David’s broken ankle and how things were
progressing. Then, as the pandemic
closed around and lockdown isolated us, as a sort of message in a bottle to
friends giving at least some virtual human contact to those on their own – or
just bored witless and desperate for something to read.
This
is how we ended that year

Before we
all hit the sherry can I just say a big THANK YOU to all those who have made
this past year just a bit more bearable including and especially:
All the
staff on Ward 24 of the RVI.
Lane End
Surgery's and Lakeside Centre's receptionists
The staff
at LD:NorthEast
Those
people who've been kind/mad enough to read my blogs and say nice things about
them
The
friends who have kept in touch here, by text/phone/email (and the one who has
winkled me out for the odd walk despite my foul mouth).
I'm not
going to tempt fate with any optimistic predictions or hopes.
Just
please do everything to stay well, look after yourselves and each other and
know I appreciate you.
Mrs Lasagne
Happy New Year Ben and thanking for making me smile xxxx
Mrs Jeremy I absolutely second that - the
blog posts etc have sustained me and made me laugh out loud at times, and shed
tears at other times but the real belly laugh moment of the year for me has to
be the now infamous 'emoji error' in the tweet to North Tyneside Council! I
need say no more...
Miss Doozer
Happy New Year and keep the blog posts coming; I love reading them x
Ms Exlibris
Happy New Year to you Ben.
Ms Stephenson
Happy New Year Ben
Bess Cavalier
Happy New Year to you Ben, Fester and the boys.
Mrs Bursar
Happy New Year to you & yours Ben. Lots of love and hugs. xx
And from a few years earlier
My
Dad gave this Carmarthenshire Blessing as the toast at my wedding so, at the
end of the year when he finally went home, it seems fitting to share it with
all of you for 2012:-
"We
wish you health, sufficient wealth,
A
happy home and freedom,
And
may you always have good friends,
And
never have cause to need 'em."
Now, 2012 was a year when we found out how many good friends we had, but that story’s been told before.
