It’s As Far Away As It Ever Was

27 Dec

That’s Christmas over with for another year.  How was yours?  I don’t really remember mine.  I have some photos so I’ll upload those at the end of this post and we can all find out together.

I have almost caught up with your posts that I get by email.  I may not have commented but I clicked ‘Like’ to let you know I read them (and because I liked them).  Tomorrow’s job is to catch up with the comments you have left here over the last few days.

Thanks for sticking with me when I’m grumpy, snotty and not quite all there.

Here are some pictures, as promised.  They were taken with my camera.  Once the Hub is well enough, he’ll upload the ones taken with his camera and I’ll share some of those.

      Face is aching today; probably from all the gunk, despite my best efforts to clear it. But a bit better than yesterday, and a lot better than Christmas Day.

      Thanks for asking 🙂

        Patience is the only solution here… been there, had to do that 😉
        I do hope you will feel like your old vibrant self again soon! A healthy start into the new year.

    I love the pictures, your boys are adorable. The tree is a perfect Christmas tree full of ornaments. I’m glad that you are on the mend. You’ll hopefully be right as rain by New Year’s.

      Fingers crossed – Spud has exams on January 5th and he hasn’t been able to revise at all.

    It looked a lovely Christmas, Tilly. Some flamboyant presents there….and that was Mount Everest under the tree!

    Have a wonderful break, now you are emerging from that horrid cold.

    Oh how dreadful to be thus afflicted at such a time!
    Anyway, the best of it certainly seems to have been made. That pile of pressies is almost as bad as our lot!

    Hi Tilly. You always seem to be in photos with differnt men. Either your husband is a quick change artist or you have more than one. I was noticing the moustasche in particular.

    Cheers and I hope you feel better. Dianne

    Tilly I hope you are all feeling better soon. Lousy timing for the flu bugs. How did you do that slide show – it looks an amazing way to display photos.

      Dreadful timing, I’ll admit; especially when it was three of us.

      Hope Mex is feeling better.
