Single

Let's start this by saying, it's not sad to write this, it isn't depression or suicidal thoughts. It is the reality for a lot of single people. Each and every day there comes that time when we acknowledge that the day is over. At that time, no matter what else we were doing before, how noisy it was, right at that moment there is a stillness. There is a lack of anything when the world of nobody seems to stretch out for miles and miles even though there may be people just feet away behind a wall.

Christmas

Well, plans I thought I may have for Christmas don't seem likely now. Not entirely sure what direction it's going to go in but I am sure it'll be sorted before the big day. In the meantime, Christmas has started early here at Williams Towers. We're watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music. I've completed all my shopping now (How awesome is that). Tonight, being November 5th, is fireworks night and we're heading down to town for the free show there as a family except for Sean who is yet to learn how important it is to grab every quality moment with the kids when they're young ... I am still going to try and persuade him again though, I am sure he'd enjoy it. Dad has placed an offer in for the Essex flat which has been accepted so full steam ahead on that one. I was up way too late last night because I didn't have any plans for this morning. Had a lovely chat with Randy over there in the Philippines until nearly 3am. Of course, as the...
