Compliments on my blog.

I had a gentleman write to me a couple of days ago email me to tell me how much he enjoyed my blog. He started following it after he came to see me a couple of months ago.

I do get the odd compliment when gents come and see me, but to have somebody take the time to write to me to tell me how much they enjoy my blog is truly touching. So thank you A in Israel.

I have to admit,  I do get a kick when somebody tells me they enjoy my ramblings. Sometimes I do have a rant and I’m unsure whether or not to reveal how I really feel. But there seems to be those who have come to understand me and know when I just need to vent, or when I need to take the mickey out of either myself or the job. Blogging really does help.

I’m not sure if my blogging will be cut back once I start my volunteer job next week as I’m afraid it’s not something I can talk about much without giving too much of me away. We’ll see. But thanks to those who’ve faithfully followed me. Whether it be from the beginning, intermittently, or just last month.

Again, Happy New Year to you and if you’re in the UK, don’t let the freezing temperatures get you down. Make this year a good year, I plan to.xx

That didn’t hurt too bad.

I forgot to mention that I got my old bird back from the garage yesterday and I didn’t have to extract any limbs  in order to pay for it. It was the clutch cable as the shopkeeper said (bless him, he helped me push the car away from the traffic) but it only cost £60, not a “couple hundred” as he intimated. A hugh sigh of relief could be heard reverberating around Croydon I’m sure.

The garage owner laughed at me and said next year he wants to see me in a new car. No chance I says. I’ll be driving this car until I have to a do Fred Flinstone and run the car with my feet. As long as it gets me from A to B that’s good enough for me.

Anyway, that’s me in for the night now. I’m cooking a small dinner for myself and I’ve opened a bottle of Cava I bought back from Barcelona over three years ago. I can’t believe it’s still good. That’s decent Spanish wine for you.

Happy New Year to all my readers and customers. Here’s wishing you the very best of 2010.
