Dog cricked its' neck yesterday afternoon... in incredible pain, could hardly move without yelping. Up all night with him, trying to keep him comfortable. Just got back from the vets.... going to bed very shortly.
 
Yesterday: Coat of paint on old dinghy project.

Today: Alarm failed to go off, so woke 20 mins before I was due at Doctor for medical exam. Arrived on time, Blood pressure normal, oddly enough.

Arrived in office, checked emails, had a quick look at S'butt, spent next half hour on here, good intentions out of window and its only 10.30 on 2nd Jan.....

not smoked for a whole day and 10 hours

I've not had a fag for 26 years 2 days 4 hours 18 minutes, as I mention twenty times a day.

It's called chain non-smoking.
 
Mixed events, as usual. Partner's mother died on NYE - not a bad exit : lucid the day before but asleep when it happened; daughter and grandchildren at bedside. I've been doing my best to support since but also have failed to start boat engine and have got battery on charge. Had a slice of cheesecake.
Memsahib's mother had private life insurance but no apparent benefit. Small print did not allow transfer from NHS. Seems like a racket to me.
 
Sent mails about 2007/08 holidays.

Reach the half century this year and would like to go diving on the Great Barrier Reef, while I still can and bring the kids with me before thay interest in other things.
 
go through to all the credit card companies and cancelled the cards for my missing wallet - last seen Christmas eve but I have been in since then ...............the dam thing will of course now turn up any moment /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
 
Well, I would have been, but I caught a length of floating polyprop warp round the Seagull's prop en route to the mooring by dinghy, and the spare drive spring was on board and a mile uptide and upwind of me!

Looking like a boring year for 2007.
 
Went to open window at breakfast time to get fresh air. Breeze blew all needles of Christmas Tree. Took down bald Christmas Tree. Spent hours hoovering up pine needles from deep piled carpet that I didn't choose anyway. Put dinner in the oven. Still haven't had breakfast or lunch yet. Waiting for other half to come in from work and ask if i've enjoyed my day off!
