This time of year is always a bit strange.
Today is 26 years since my wife died.

Tmrw is 21 years since I got together with Penny.
First time she's been away and she flies home tmrw. She normally raises a glass to Joanne

Each year is a bit easier.

Could be worse

Right now I'm very happy

Sitting at home after some physio and then a long overdue chat with my brother.

Downside, still got a hurty arm :( Slightly concerned that a driving job may not be something that is actually possible for me - especially when the boss makes me drive a manual vehicle 3 or 6 times a week :roll: :roll: :roll: Won't be like this in the summer, but I don't think I can do another winter in these conditions which is a bit sad as I love the job :cry:

At the airport waiting to board to fly to UK.
Not been for 3 years.

Going for a funeral so I'll see family I've not seen since last funeral.
And having a night out with some old racing pals.

Then that'll be me for a few more years.
I loved the UK and chose where I lived and work.
But it was going downhill fast, so we jumped ship.
I don't miss anything about it.

Hope it's not too cold :(
