Day 872-875

Hey Mikey its midnight the bells are chiming and its the end of another year and the beginning of a new one. The 3rd new year you have missed! Maybe i should say another year we have missed you.

Its raining, the fireworks are going off and the sky outside is ablaze with Chinese lanterns mine will come tonight, when its dry. After all I'm a danger to myself at the best of times, so when its wet and windy there will be little hope for you receiving said lantern!

Duke is proving to be a bit of a baby! the fireworks upset him and i have just been wearing 70kg of fur, muscle, teeth and claws as a medallion! oh and that's when hes not trying to sit on my lap! i may have to put the radio on for him, he loves music, now how bizarre is that!

2012 has been an eventful year. Its only now when i look back i can actually think about how many things have changed.
A year of ups and downs, highs and lows. Astonishing feats, how on earth i completed a marathon i really don't know. I believe you were there with me spurring me on. I can only just do 5 miles now! i have been injured though,  does that count?

Your Dad has decide to get fit this year, ah well lets hope he does do that, may give him an interest and something to talk about.

This time last year i was training for the run of my life! and am now looking forward to some early morning runs. The knee has improved shame about the back and all the rest of me though. Well its a new year and we must think of new things to do again each month.

So i have enrolled on a core fitness challenge, looks hard!!! Still i will give it a whirl.

It has been so hard since changing jobs to focus on what is important in our home lives. So easy to lose sight of that and yet again i find myself on the endless wheel of work!
So today i take stock and re evaluate the year ahead.

Tom has settled i think and appears a bit better than he was, i suppose he too has had to adapt and make changes to his life. Never easy is it Mike, you probably know that more than any of us. Its still hard to grasp the fact that you complained so little. in fact Mikey you never once grumbled at all to us. What a wonderful man you were and still are in our hearts.

So many people still remember you Mikey, you are not forgotten.

 May is going to be an eventful month, your birthday, a special wedding and another effort for CF. Can you see us Mikey? oh i hope so. Hope, its that word again, so small and yet so meaningful, a word we shouldn't just use everyday but we do.

At last Duke has curled up with his Monkey and appears settled! for now.
I'm still taking loads of photos and getting as much pleasure as i did when i first started using it. Still not got to grips with all it can do so sent for a copy of Nikon for dummies, well needs must. I have the use of an ipad now. I can almost hear you laughing at that and then the words that its a waste on someone like me, and you would be right! ah well at some point i had to move with the times, but my trusty phone remains the same, a brick, but a working brick!

This year more of your friends have joined you and i hope the party is still going on, if you can if its possible think kindly of us and know that we love you you still.

For us, tomorrow is just another day...................
