2011
« on: December 30, 2010, 09:24:33 PM »
2011. Doesn't that sound like a futuristic Science Fiction movie?
Anyway, it's time to wish you the very best for the coming year and thank you all for your continuing support of this site. It's much appreciated. Over the ten years we've been up and running, we've all become friends and have shared some great times and some desperately sad times. The best thing I can wish you all is good health. Joan's struggles in the past year have been a reminder of the important things in life and it's been an inspiration to have had an insight into the way she has coped. Thankfully, it has been a happy ending.
In 2011, I will become 60 years old which is clearly ridiculous. I'm a boy! When I wrote the first ever Beau Peep strip, I was 24. Ye Gods.
Enough of that! Have a great New Year, everybody, and many, many more!

It certainly does, Roger, and I still say it should be two thousand and eleven, not twenty eleven.  Anyway, nobody's going to listen to me on that one, but thank you all for listening to me as I made my bumpy ride through 2010.  It's been a year of highs and lows for me and it's made such a difference to me to be able to come in here and "let it all out" as it were.  I've really appreciated being able to share with you and your wonderful support in return.

Here's to a great 2011, even if it does contain Roger's 60th birthday!  Just another milestone, Roger. As you can imagine, my attitude to getting older has changed slightly. Roll on my 60th! Well, maybe not too quickly.  ;)

Wishing you all health and happiness, Happy Hogmanay, everyone!

I'm not listening, Joan and the reason for my deaf ear is the year one thousand, nine hundred and eleven or, as it tends to be more commonly referred to, .........

Merry New Year.

Well I don't like to get all mushy - but I will. I am very fond of you all.

I will be spending the day getting my odd jobs caught up and preparing for a family game night with fancy nibbles. The world always throws a party for my eldest son's birthday - I guess I will make the cake though.

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year, everyone.

 I'll be going to bed early with a new book and a cup of drinking chocolate. Speak to you all next year!

That's precisely my point, Fyodor ... it's much easier to say 2 thousand and 11 than 1 thousand, 9 hundred and 11, it sounds better than twenty 11 and it's only two more little words.  :)

Happy New Year to you all.  I did stay up to see it in, but just watched the fireworks on TV (and heard them outside) and then went to bed. The other half had gone to bed already as he's sailing today.

It's a hot, but lovely, day here today and I'm sitting in the dining room as it's the coolest place to be at the moment and I'm not going to turn the ac on just for little old me. Having a quiet day at home catching up on emails. A dip in the pool will probably be in order later on.  Have a lovely New Year, everyone.  Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 (read that which every way you want to). Happy Birthday to Evan, Diane!

Take care all,
Joan

Have a very happy New Year to all, especially Diane who has yet to celebrate it.

Roll on

So much for the early night with a book and a cup of cocoa!

I managed to keep my eyes open long enough to send a group message to the family just before twelve, only to be jerked awake by flashing blue lights and lots of shouting. Curiosity got the better of me and I just had to get up and do a bit of curtain twitching! I was then entertained by five police cars, four police vans, an ambulance and a paramedics emergency vehicle AND no less than eighteen police persons (goodness, don't they look young!), and three medics - who had all come round to our little estate (three blocks, three storeys high, set out in a 'U', with the main road at the open-end of the 'U') to look, and eventually find, ONE man!

Having caught the man somewhere in the bushes around the blocks, a little celebration ensued; whether it was because they had captured the guy, or it was a belated New Years' do, I couldn't tell. I got bored by about 1.30 and put myself back to bed.

Have a peaceful 2011!  :-*

Vulch - what on earth had he done/was about to do??

I toddled off to bed as planned with a cracking wee book..."Delete at your Peril"...one man's replies to all those scam e-mails, invariably from somewhere on the African continent (thanks to bro and sister-in-law).  Laughed out loud at it, listened to the fireworks and fell happily asleep.

The start of my year is peaceful and quiet but I wish I was going for a swim with Joan 8)
