Good to end the year on a high note.

Heres hoping 2011 just gets better.

All the best :P

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Alan, simply wonderful outcomes to your announcement, I think these are the stories that we all want to hear at this time.

 

My congratulation as well.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

Thanks from the three of us. Sarah has been telling her friends that

I'm her parent for the last couple of years, so even that is a non-issue.

I lay in bed awake all night listening to the cricket.

Life just gets better and better.

 

Off out to friends this afternoon for dinner - which Bernadette and I

are cooking for them. They're elderly and the ice is dangerous for them.

Strangely, we're really stupidly excited about it.

Nice to hear of someone ending the year on such a positive, happy note! Congratulations to you both. Really glad you and your son are talking again and finally but very good news is that your sister is on the mend.

 

I can see 2011 is going to be a very good year for you and much deserved.

Thanks, Lyn. I feel positive about life in general for the first time in years.

Bernadette has been so solid beside me since I met her. It seems twee to say, but it's so true that I knew she was THE one as soon as I saw her. Funny enough we got to know each other because her daughter Sarah wanted to learn to fish, so it was a project when I was travelling to Liverpool on business. However, the the 4 year old had a sense of humour way beyond her years. She said to her mother 'Shall I tell all those people that they're wasting their time because there's no fish in the lake?'

 

As I was relatively new to the sport, I took things in my stride and spent as much time teaching Bernadette, so she couuld take Sarah when I wasn't there. The rest of it is pretty hysterical realy.

We've of course already spoken on the phone, but Peggy's asked me to pass on her congratulations to you both, and hopes you're fully fit before long. We'll see you in May.
