Keeping in touch across the miles

I made it home safely and have now started school again. I am looking forward to my projects this semester, although it’s going to be very hectic and stressful! Before all that happens, however, I’m taking advantage of the many snowfalls we’ve had in the past couple of weeks. I have already gone snowboarding once…

We had a great Christmas and New Year with Mum and Dad in Reading. Christina seemed to enjoy herself, we certainly loved having her with us for our first Christmas back in England in 20 years! C. had to return to Canada on the 30th Dec. so she could see the New Year in with…

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! January the 6th, and back at work today. The traffic was horrendous this morning, and there was no heating in the building at work (basement floods). Despite all the people on the road, there were very few at work – maybe got stuck in traffic and went home? Great start to…

I guess it has been awhile since I last updated. I had a recurrence of illness – my operation became infected inside and I had to take antibiotics for 10 days to clear it. That put paid to the rest of the Christmas shopping as I had to rest because it was sore. Of course…

We’ve all been quite busy here in England (yes, I’ve been here with my parents for just over a week now), and that’s why none of us have updated. I thought I would take it upon my self to make a Christmas entry. After celebrating my Nanna’s birthday one Dec. 21st, we drove back from…

Saw The Two Towers with Mike last night – it was incredible! I can’t wait to get the first two movies on DVD with all the special features and everything. They’re going to be great 🙂 And then the third movie – but after that, when there’s no more to look forward to – ahhh!!!…

Did I tell you about the robin? The other day I was sat in the t.v. room which has a huge patio door in it and this beautiful English robin perched on the plastic table temporarily stored on the patio outside the door. he cocked his head at me and then hopped right up to…

I’ve had a nice and eventful week, though yesterday I did practically nothing. I vacuumed my room and the hallway up here last night, though, so at least I did a little bit 🙂 I saw a couple of friends on Friday and Saturday, which was nice as I’ve been couped up in the house…

The worst thing about this operation business is not being able to drive. I am starting to get cabin fever even though I can walk, I really enjoy driving where ever I want. However I am improving daily and feel great. I have even cooked, I made cottage pie from scratch yesterday and today I…

O.K. O.K. I was wrong again!!!! Dave hadn’t put the Christmas decorations in the loft. He had just put them in different boxes in a different room, so was able to find them. Not that I have done much with them!!! I am trying to tidy rooms so that some decorations can go up but…
