But where is Joseph?

Got the Christmas things down from the loft and put out the nativity sets. But Joseph is missing from this family.....wonder where he has gone? So, poor Mary has not just had a virgin birth - she also finds herself as a single parent!

Goodbye, old friend....

It's the end of the road for my back-pack. I have had it since 1996 (or is is it 1995?) and it has been with me on travels everywhere. It has been to Australia, USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, Portugal, Spain, Cuba and Peru. But now the zips are corroded and some of the straps and buckles have broken.

A pity. Sorry, old friend, you're going in the bin....

Winter Wonderland.....

We have been promised snow for days now - and now at last it has arrived in Coventry. Everything looked lovely this morning but it doesn't look as if it will last too long. Joe is upset - claims his secondary school is the only one in the city that has remained open!

My new iPhone!

Lynnette said I should have an iPhone as "they are really cool". Well, being a very uncool sort of person I wondered if I would be able to get one. But apparently you don't have to actually pass a coolness test to own one - which is a good thing as I am sure I would have failed.

But it is very good fun and I am spending increasing amounts of time playing with my new gadget, adding apps, photos, music, etc. So now the house remains undusted, the ironing basket overflows and Bill is neglected. My New Year Resolution? To waste time on my phone...... And who knows, I may even end up as "cool".
