When I was involved in my car accident in September, as part if the insurance claim I had to go and see a doctor. The insurance company arranged it all and I had to go to Reading and see a doctor, mainly about the pain I was getting in my back. All fine, I found the place, saw the doctor and then came home. Imagine my surprise when about two weeks later a letter arrived from Reading Council saying I had driven in a bus lane!!!
I won't go into the ins and outs if it all, but it was a but if a con, but a bit ironic really, wife of a bus driver gets done for driving in a bus lane!!!

End of the hols - for some!
Well, after a fabulous holiday, as with all these things, time has come to return home...........well for some. So, after going for a very tough run this morning, I have come back to pack up the suitcase and in about two and a half hours we shall be heading to the airport, where hubby will board the evening flight to Dubai, for the start of his long journey back to the UK.
I'm staying another week, so won't get back to the UK until a week on Sunday, but someone had to back and rescue Thunder Paws from kitteh prison! Also, hubby has to go back to the day job!!
So, I'll be sad to say goodbye to hubby, but happy to be spending a bit more time with my family, and no doubt my extra week will be up all to quickly and I'll have to return to a cold, wet and by the sounds of the news reports, a gale ravaged country!!

The year has changed again, or ramblings of the past!
So here we are, another year has passed and we have arrived in 2014, so Happy New Year everyone!
So, do I review 2013 or go on about hopes and plans for 2014?? Oh god, decisions! Well, firstly, I am writing this from South Africa, after a hot and sunny New Years Day. Hot Christmas and New Year is a bit strange, though I'm not complaining. We arrived in SA on the Friday before Christmas, to spend the holidays with my family. the plan was for them all to come to the UK, as youngest sister wanted to have a cold Christmas, but middle sister buggered that up by becoming preggers, and as baby is due in at the end of Jan, no self respecting airline as going to let her anywhere near one of its planes!!! So, small change of planes, saw me and hubby coming south, so we still get the family Christmas, albeit a hot one.
The holiday has been fantastic, though I managed to come down with flu on the Monday before Christmas, but a wonder drug called Myprodol soon sorted things and out, and I was still able to enjoy the festivities. For my birthday we went to a rather posh hotel in Umhlange (just north of Durban), right on the beach. New Year was celebrated with a few (24!!!) festival balls and now for hubby, hols are over, as tomorrow he must make the long journey back to the UK via Dubai, as unfortunately the buses are calling, and he is back to work on Sunday 😔😔. I however am here for another week before having to make the same journey.
So, what's happened in 2013.............this and that I guess. Work is its usual delights and challenges, but generally pretty good. At the end of 2012, we had a bit of a change around staff wise, which was a bit unsettling and disruptive, something which continued throughout the year and unfortunately will continue into next year, due to further changes of staff, thought some are more welcome than not! We decorated the spare rook and planned to have the kitchen replaced, though this was put on hold when I wrote off my car at the beginning of September having been hit by a lorry on the motorway. Anyway this is back on track and hopefully we'll get it done in March.
We spent two weeks in Cyprus in June, enjoying unseasonably hot weather, and in October I ran my first 10k race. I wasn't the fastest ( by a long shot) but I ran the whole distance, and considering it was only month after my car crash I was happy. Christopher still rules his roost, and is very well settled.
So, what is 2014 going to bring?? Well, I've a few plans and aims, but hose are mine to maybe divulge at a later date. I'm not a huge believer of resolutions, but am happy to have a few plans and aims. However, I will try to blog a bit more.....
