Well Christmas came and went PDQ- probably just as well...best to gloss over some of these things- burnt goose and soggy sprouts........

New Year was good- spent in the mountains by Lake Annecy raquetting and cross country skiing and getting jounced around on a snow cat heading through a blizzard to a mountain chalet resteraunt for New Years Eve. I think the drivers of these machines must have been all of 12 years old. Mind you they can't have been worse than us- we got lost on the way to Lake Annecy and ended up 6 of us in a big white vanlike people carrier driving round and round a roundabout in the dark with me on the mobile to our French friend trying to get the right directions...and the driver and navigator totally at a loss....then we headed off down the wrong road and thought we were on the motorway back to Geneva....fortunately not....but it was a hairy moment.

But hey you can have fun when over a Certain Age.

My travelplans are not going well- hubby does not want to play- I am considering going on my own- or a friend if I can find one who is still alive....still musnt give up. If I keep on talking about it endlessly then something surely must slip into his brain without being filtered out...he can't keep up the concentration levels now he's older, but I can keep up the chatting- this is why women live longer than men- their brains keep working.....

But better go and get some beauty sleep now.....now that another New Year is virtually half over already.....
