Christmas is just 10 days away ....

Good morning,

Yes, another Christmas is almost upon us and am I ready for it? Am I heck!  I can never seem to get organised enough to have everything over and done with before the 23rd Dec.
:( and yet my lady has got all her stuff done and ready which is a first from her as far as I know...well done to her I admire her skills and to be sure I shall get all my stuff ready before the event next year (I seem to remember saying that last year, and the year before lol). No, I shall actually make it one of my resolutions this year, as I am usually quite good at keeping my New Year resolutions.

Being so near to Christmas of course the X factor has very nearly played out and as usual the clear choice of talent has been superseded by Eurovision like political voting tactics. Last night it was Scotland that was called on to vote for one of their own, who incidentally has been coached in the Connery voice lisp which actually sounds quite ridiculous in one so young.  He is no more than a child who will go through untold damage if he wins the competition, but then neither of the contestants left are suitable winning material - the boy due to his weak vocals and the woman, though undoubtedly possessing a truly remarkable voice and vocal range, due to her commitments to her very young children who will be neglected if she wins.  Once again dear Reader another case of damage.  The one who was the best suited to go through, the mature lad who would be able to take the fame in his stride and has not appeared too nervous but in fact has excelled under the pressure, was voted out during the tactical farce that went on last night.  We shall see how it pans out - another Susan Boyle catastrophe in the offing??

Back to the hospital tomorrow to have my stitches removed at last :) then back to work on Tuesday all being well.  When I went to the Docs on Friday to get my further course of antibiotics I was told that the reason I have been so poorly is that I had systemic blood poisoning! and that I was lucky not to have ended up in hospital on a drip!! Jeeze how easily these things can happen eh? Thank goodness I am ok now, I do have to say that not just because of my positive thinking voyage but because I have just always tried to see the positive in everything anyway, I think sometimes it is good to feel so ill because when you get better you appreciate the wellness so much more.  Maybe I was taking it for granted in some way and the powers that be were just reigning me in a little.  Ok so, lesson learnt and onwards and upwards....
