Well Mikey Christmas is just about over, thank goodness.
I know you loved this time of year but we have very little joy now about the whole period. Tom makes us remember. If we didn't have Tom i think we would give up on the whole process.
So how have the last 10 days passed.
The weather as usual has been pretty grim. Rain rain and more rain.
My car has been going well and i love it. So pleased i made my mind up and had it.
The knee is recovering well but i have put the back out as well although thanks to physio and the exercises it seems to be on the mend.
I have another race next weekend and not sure if I'm really fit. The new exercises are showing up muscles i forgot i had! and i have been visited by Mr dead legs and have struggled round the streets.
Work is good and the travelling to and fro gives me time to think and by the time i get home I'm chilled! now that does make a change.
The scenery has been quite remarkable, i can see the same view daily but i can see something changing each time i gaze across the fens.
The fields are water logged and huge lakes of water are covering the new planting, i wonder what next years harvest will be like.
Coming home the other evening, well it was Christmas Eve and i managed to get off a little bit earlier so it was just getting dark. The country roads were like ribbons shining with the wetness with the moon catching light on them, it was mystical and very calming. I could have drove all night. Oops a name of a song.
Tom bought me a telescope and i will now be able to star gaze to my hearts content. I attempted to see the moon tonight, with little success. I could see it OK with the eye, but focusing the equipment another matter entirely!
Duke has been in his first fight! oh Mikey you would adore him. He is almost human and i often wonder what hes thinking. Still a small terrier bit his nose when he went to play with it. Poor Duke came off the worst and has now a lovely scar on the tip of his nose. As dad said his modelling days are over!
As you can imagine i have put weight on, now there is a surprise, so the diet is under way! again yes i know I'm always on a diet, but this time i hope it stays off. Linda has done really well and looks 10 years younger, so here's hoping lol!
People still remember you Mikey and write messages on your Wall, Claire Cruickshank always thinks of you.
Maddy is getting married in May and I'm sure you would have loved to have been there, i hope we get photos and will share them with you.
Never a day goes by without us thinking about you and we all feel that there is a huge pert of our family gone and will never be able to fill that void. To be honest Mikey we just cant get on as you wanted us to, but we do try.
I think dad may take up running in the new year! cant wait to see him in shorts. I will have to post a photo when that happens. Tom is now quite keen on cycling and does seem to enjoy it.
Scott has moved into Nans house so yet another whitwell in Eastwood. Its comforting knowing that its still in the family.
Tom was on the Tornado steam train from Welyn to Norwich he was conducting it through. We went to Ely and watched it come through the station. There was Tom with his head out of the cab checking the signals, huge grin on his face, surrounded by these huge bouts of steam. What a sight and what a privilege to be on it.
Well i better get to bed, work in the morning, i did have to go in today for a while but i didn't mind.
I bought Dad Moby Dick on audio CD ready for the really bad weather. Do you remember how the three of you used to sit and listen to stories on tape on Sunday mornings.
Nite Mikey love you xxx.
So till the next time, we still only function a day at a time and at night we go to bed thinking, tomorrow is another day......................
