Last day

So it's the last day of 2015, a lot of things have happened in this year some of them have not been very nice, the death of my mother being one of them.

Another thing that happened for a while was that I did not know if I was still in love with my wife, i know a strange thing to say here but for a while I didn't know what I wanted and that included my wife of 30 odd years.

The good news is that I do still love her so much but I have no idea how to tell her in a way that I have not already told her.

Last day of the year is always going to be a strange time of the year as you can look back and see what happened but can't change what happened but the good news is that most of what happened was good even if at times I felt that I was a passenger.

Weather

I am so lucky that I don't live near to a major river as the news from else where in the uk is very upsetting with all the flooding that is going on. Knowing that it will be a long time before the people effected will get their lives back to something like normal. I suspect that the insurance companies are going to do there bit to make life harder as well.

Rest day

So today is a rest day which is good the bad news is that I still had to get up early to make sure the wife went to work on time.

Roast Pork 2

Well I can say here that the rare breed pork was well worth the money and the time to cook it. If you get the chance then do have a go at trying it.

Roast pork

So today we are going to try a rare breed pork called gloster old spot it will be interesting to see if the rare breed pork tastes different to the standard pork you get in the shops.

Back from Calane

So the journey back from Calane took 1.5 hours which was not bad the gps sent us back on a different route to the route it sent us on on the way there.

Drinking

So it's Christmas night and I am having a beer that I have never had before called kill your darlings which is a Vienna style larger and I have to say that it is great.

Cooking

So as its a day off we normally have a roast dinner and today is no different in that we Are going to have roast gammon which is and has always been a favourite.

Happy Christmas

So it's the 25 December so it must be Christmas if you celebrate that kind of thing. For me it's a day off so that is always good.

Drink

Having a the bears from jig hug the beer is a bit strong for me as there appears to be a lot of hops which appears to overload the flavours for me.

Drink

Drinking fullers 1845 all i can say is wow.

This is not a session beer but something to be enjoyed with respect as it is a great beer with a strong taste.

Shoes

Why do women have so many shoes?

I don't know the answer to this question but I am sure that the answer if there is one is going to be good.

Time

Where does all the time go when you are on days off?

I mean I woke up at my usual time and decided to do some reading, the next thing I know it's 11.30 where has the time gone to?

Reading

I like to read this is something that I have always loved and it's something that I have always done. So it is always a pleasure when I get a book that is great to read the only problem with this is that I then find that other things that I should be doing are not being done and that can and does lead me in getting into trouble, but with a  good book the trouble caused is I think worth it. Most of the time the books I now read are on the iPad, which in one way is sad but it is easier to carry far more books than if they were paperbacks. 

One of the joys of reading is that you can sometimes find a new author and then find that they have written lots of books, so you know that your reading list is going to be full for the next few weeks as you read through the list.

The first time

So this is the first time that I am using a program called swift key I am not sure yet if it is going to be quicker than me typing all the words myself but I have read that it needs to learn more about how I write before it can start to be quicker than me typing all the words myself so I will give it a go and see what happens.

Solstice

So winter solstice has been and gone agin and the night soon should start getting shorter, I read somewhere that the daylight difference beetween winter solstice and summer solstice is 7.5hours that's a lot you just don't realise just how much light in the winter here in the uk you loose.😀

Wow

Wow so much time has passed since I last had something to say here on my blog. Not too sure why it is but there you go.

One of the things I like about having my own personal and for all intents and purposes private blogs is that I can write when I want about whatever I want as the only person who reads this is me right?

So having had this blog for a long time I have noticed that I can go for many weeks with nothing to say and that alright as its my blog and sometime I just don't feel like I have anything that I want to say.

So I may or may not do a couple of more blog entry's before the end of the year it all depends on just how I am feeling.
