Seven more things...

I just found a post from 2006 this one, in fact, in which I listed seven things I was pleased about from the previous year and thought I might have a go at it again. Life is quieter these days, as I am no longer teaching, but the days still get filled up one way and another, so here goes, in no particular order:


  1. Being able to see my grandson, Paul growing into a delightful, intelligent and  energetic boy that his father would be so proud of.
  2. Having two dogs instead of one. Jake joined us last new year and he and Paddy get on so well.
  3. Doing Pets as Therapy visits to a nearby retirement home with Jake. He loves going and the residents love seeing him.
  4. Being in my second year of learning Welsh.
  5. Elder Daughter having passed her consultancy exams. Soon she will be a consultant in care of the elderly, which could come in useful for us one day!
  6. Seeing Younger Daughter settled in her own house and living an active life.
  7. My iPad  Christmas present from Keith. (Yes, I know, very materialistic of me!)

For anyone who would like to have a go at this, feel free!





Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
