A great Christmas... thank's guys !!

Good afternoon, to all of you....

I hope your Boxing Day is going well ?! It's been a great couple of days - lots of good company & good food, courtesy of my Wife & Dearest Friend !! There were only the 2 of us, here for Christmas dinner, but the M & M's joined us later in the day, for a very light tea. All in all, it was a brilliant day !!

Talking of B - she is over to my left, doing some knitting ...... a thingy for our Grand Daughter, who is due, 2 months from today !! That's come around really quickly.... it wasn't very long ago, that we were told ME was pregnant !! Here's hoping everything goes well, for all 3 of them...... it won't be long now folks !!

B & I stayed here, all of yesterday.... just a quiet day, really. I did managed to get her, a cup of, de-caff, tea in bed...... it was the least I could do for her. She has looked after me sooooo much, this past 12 months + !! It was the least I could do, bless her....... Also, I wanted her to have her gifts, from me, in bed - before she got up & started doing other stuff !!

I was able to get her a couple of Cd's, from Bryan Adams & Adele - both their latest offerings.... plus season 11 of N.C.I.S. on DVD & a couple of books, by her favourite cooks, 'The Hairy Bikers' !! All of the gifts, seem to have been gladly received.... hope so, at least !!

At some point, I'm paying for a couple of subscriptions, to a magazine or two, that she wants......... but, that'll be in a week or two. I'm not sure, exactly, which she ones they are, but I'm sure I'll get told, nearer the time !!

As for me - I was well spoilt !! From the M & M's, I had a big & I mean BIG 'Man Tin' and a load of sweets to put in the thing !! It's going to take me forever, to even scratch the surface on that lot, I can tell you...... there are loads of sweets in the thing...... !!

Plus, they gave me my very own Tribble !! It's a brilliant gift !! I can look after her, while watching the two DVD's they gave me..... 'The Desolation Of Smaug' on Blu-ray (the extended version) + a DVD of 'The Jinx'. I'm really looking forward to watching the latter !! The M & M's keep telling me how good it is, sooooo.......

As for the stuff B gave me..... "Wow !!" - I was really spoilt rotten !! Not only did I get a bundle of sweets, I was given a jumper thingy, the complete Seasons 1-8 of 'The Big Band Theory' + a special Christmas box set....... Also - she gave me a couple of Allman Brothers Cd's.... 'Idlewildsouth' - the new 2 Cd version.... and, the 3 Cd 'Live At The Cow Palace - New Years Eve 1973' concert..... all 4 hours of it !!

I've not had chance to play it all the ways thru' yet - but, somewhere Jerry Garcia joins the band on stage.... not sure when, but it's got to be good !! It's a brilliant album & it's about time, that it was released officially !! Well good !!

Right - I best think about switching off, for today at least....... except for one thing !! I've had an e-mail.....

....... from a guy who hasn't been in touch with me, for about 20 years !! I don't know exactly how move forward, on this one........ He owes me money, he owes us an apology, for wanting to use our bed, to screw with a girl he had picked up, at work - even tho' he was with his 'Wife' at the time and, it was a week before his daughter was going to be our bridesmaid !! Honestly..... where he's been all these years, I have no idea - I don't think I want to know !! Oh well............... !!

I'll have to think about this one - for now, I'm away. Thank you all, for logging in over the last couple of days, I appreciate your time. Now tho' - I will be on my ways... until next time....

Bye Bye
