All systems go for a visit to the palace and partying afterwards. Have fun and well done to your sponsors who saw the good in you.
What a happy New Year gift. The hustle and bustle of Christmas is over, the market has gone and the Nativity will soon be put away until next December. A time to look back for older people and look forward for the young although it all depends on your outlook on life. Simply stunning. Television has been deadly over Christmas and into New Year, repeats and repeats with the odd jewel thrown in.
I have visions of writers sitting round an oval desk, big windows on one side of the room and a huge coffee machine in one corner; they have glasses of water and big note pads and they laugh as the ideas get more ludicrous.
One thing annoyed me prior to Christmas. I was parked in Bedford Street for just over an hour on 19th and when I came back the car behind had parked so close to me and the car in front had parked so close to me that I was unable to get out.
No obstruction when I parked so these two were most unreasonable and selfish. I had to take a taxi home and then go back into town where the nice lady in Bryson House phoned me to say one of the cars had gone and I was free! Two sides of the coin, selfishness and kindness. Thank you Phyllis. Christmas Day was all turkey and tinsel, boned this year and then stuffed and cooked before whisking it over to Lisburn to join the rest of the good things we had for lunch.
