Well it's been such a long time since I came to this here ol' blog, I bet there's no one left out there wondering if I'll ever revive it! 2012 has been a funny old year, and on top of that the computer is so. painfully. slow. I end up never turning it on. Luckily, there is a brand new iMac on the way, so I expect you'll see a lot more of me. Or not. I might just decide to jack it all in.... (hence the title)
I feel like it's finally time to get ready for Christmas. My brain is actually getting into gear and I'm at last thinking of presents and in such a hurry to go to France to holiday with my family for the first time in 4 years. When Claire was working in retail she only had Christmas Day off and we just couldn't get away. This year we have already booked our ferry tickets to Caen and we will be spending the week. I'm so excited!
Meanwhile, I have been working part-time since March and although at first it was very VERY hard (I've since discovered my co-workers were a bit worried about my health not being up to it), I'm loving it. There is a great team, a great atmosphere, and although the job itself is nothing terribly complicated it is varied enough to keep me interested. I have come on in leaps and bounds since I started, I really have. It's been such good therapy, my brain is much more active and I finally feel "back to normal". So many people have commented on it, it MUST be true! February 2013 it will be 3 years since the aneurysm burst and my life changed completely.
So, that's it my friends. I've got a lot planned and I'm trying to squeeze so much more out of life. Next Thursday I'm hoping to get to see my friend Noel at this...

It's in bloomin' Brixton, but I hope to find a way....
Right then, off I go to bed to listen to the rain drumming on the roof and to dream sweet dreams :)
