Makes a change to have a mild and dry day on any day in 2008, let alone a Sunday. So, to make the most of it Sue & I called in on my mum & dad and took Sheba off their hands for a trip down to Darley Park in Derby where we did a complete circuit round the park. Being let off the leash for most of the walk, Sheba had a good run and sniff session. Mother had been very glad to see us as she was very tired and didn't feel like walking the dog anyway. So we were all happy!
Suzie is the only one who is going to work this week (Monday & Tuesday only). Mark has finished at Uni for 3 weeks, Andy is using up his annual leave and is off until the new year, and I'm....
Mark & I put up the Christmas decorations and hung the cards on Saturday, so the place at last looks like Christmas is upon us. Sue and Mark put the tree in the bay window earlier in the month, but on it's own it just didn't work.
I had a nice newsy email from Susan in Denby updating me on her family situation. Her dad recently passed away and this is the first Christmas for her and her mother on their own. It's going to be both strange and hard for them both but they are planning for next year already. Remember them and say a little prayer for the two of them that they will have the strength they need right now as we go into Christmas week.
