Finally able to venture out on non-icy pavements without providing hilarious entertainment for small dogs and children. Even Mr Snowman has waved his icy paw and melted away leaving a pile of cherry pips. New Year resolutions = 0 Oh maybe find a job ... and somewhere to live ... and lose weight ... and stop drinking ... and start writing... and stop using elipses so much ... not really New Year but Every Year.
So - where are we at? Living in Dickenson Towers til the end of Jan with heart-stopping views across London. AXPK90 is pretty much snowed in up North with Monti, Sam and the snapping Tortoise. Inheritance or not Freda, one more nasty nip and you're a hairbrush. M n M have started proper school and Slap's joining them for school dinners today. Boiled cabbage n lumpy mash or salad n chicken nuggets? Ms P is back on the road soon and Linda J back from Sri Lanka this week. Stomp booked in with the Little Hippo for Wed on the (hopefully still snowy) Heath. Oh and after a romantic NY Eve proposal Alex has agreed to become Mrs Hat. Congratulations.
London's taken a while but the slow grinding of stiff wheels and rusty cogs is starting to pick up pace and though a little clunky today it feels like the machine is back in working order. A bit like the lift in Dickenson Towers.
