Another foggy Monday

The start of another working week and still foggy though I guess that's better than ice or snow. Am getting onto the Xmas wavelength now as seen the odd Norad post on Facebook (the peeps who track Santa) and found myself humming the odd carol now and then. Most of the Xmas shopping is complete and am seriously looking forward to my extended Chrimbo break especially as there's no tattoos booked this year so we can just chillax and soak up some Xmas movies! Hoping we might be able to get semi up North to visit my brother and the kids though that will depend on what Mother Nature has in store for us this winter. Be good to spend some time with my girl as she's often busy with her uni work. In fact she's still there so better sort some tea for her return !

Random Ramblings

Yay another fun day again in paradise - not. Now the dark evenings are upon us once more it seems like the only time I see natural daylight is at the weekends. It's dark when I get up for work and dark when I come home. Not very conducive to a happy lifestyle. Still I suppose given the current climate one should be grateful to still have a job. Mind I do wish I could afford to work a few less hours a week have more me time at home. That said I'm looking forward to my Xmas break hopefully with less of the white stuff this year! The Texas Moon have to keep cancelling the Xmas party due to bad weather and although they rehold it in January it's just not the same. It kind of marks the run up to Xmas for us so fingers crossed we make it this year. Also we'd like to try and visit my bro' and the kids most likely in the gap between Xmas and New Year. Got most of the Xmas shopping done just a couple of people left to buy for then it'll be Xmas card writing. They say a woman's work is never done !

Julia's Leg Tattoo

Here's the finished leg piece, last four hours done today at Diablo Tattoo by Ray Hunt. It's looking so gorgeous and will lighten up as it heals. I'm so proud that she sat for the two four hour sessions that it took to extend the tattoo from just below the knee up to her thigh. It's a wonderful piece and will look awesome once it's healed. Well done Julia !

Chatham South 1981 Class Reunion.

This is me and some of my old school mates from the classes of 1980 & 1981. The lovely Anita Bray organised it for us and we had a good evening catching up on old times. Let's hope we don't wait another 30yrs before doing it again !

Our revamped pond.

This weekend Julia persuaded me to revamp our pond. We've dug out the weeds, laid some weed preventing material followed by coloured gravel. Looks infinitely better than before plus we've replaced the tub plants with some new stuff which Julia's promised to water so all good. Am totally knackered now time to freshen up have some lunch and put my feet up!
