A Miserable Start To The New Year
I went to bed last night about ten thirty and slept well, as I generally do.
I got up about seven and sorted out my e-mails and checked my finances. But where was the news on television and radio. It seems the world stops for two weeks, when in reality it just goes on.
And why do we get endless reviews of the year? It doesn’t get any better the second, third or fourth time round.
I can’t wait for next Monday! At least, I have made my first New Year resolution and that is to make sure, I’m not at home by myself next year. Or in fact ever again!
I had thought about going to Australia to see the cricket this year. So at least I called that one right!
I needed a bit of shopping this morning. But of course my usual Waitrose isn’t opening today. So I walked around the corner to the small Sainsburys and bought the few things I needed.
And I got wet in the miserable rain!
I didn’t get any meaningful e-mails, except spam too!
At least I’ve got football this afternoon. But I suspect that will be miserable too! I wonder what odds, I canb get on them losing six-nil?
The Anonymous Widower 
2014 is here. Remember life is short; break the rules; forgive quickly; love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Leave a little sparkle wherever you go!

It’s good thanks! I’ve just done what I always do, when I’m feeling down – cook a couple of potato-topped pies for the freezer. Today is was sausages, bacon and beans. But they won’t be as nice as they should, as I couldn’t open the pickle.

Thanks! I am home here with a wife and daughter who could care less about me. I quietly made breakfast and started our big dinner and laid out the lunch meal. All I have heard all morning are bitch comments (twisted meanings on things I say to make me feel like crap) but at least I am not alone. A few weeks and I’ll be out of work as my place of work closes. Thank God I work retail because holidays are nothing special. Just another rush to get it done with an adjusted schedule. The holday faux friend traditions are a scam to make money, Nobody Cares. Next year I plan to be out fishing or hunting ALONE away from all this crap.
