Had a lovely Christmas mostly. It was so blooming lovely to have DS here.He went back up the road yesterday. Summer & I are missig him & M is glad. He disgraced himself hissing at him.
Our lunch on Christmas Day was superb. Only marred by my maw getting in a total flap when I fell. It happens. It has started when I was 4 & started walking. All the years & she still can't deal with it. Sadly it's not going to chage now~~either the falling or how she can't deal with it .
Anyway. DS went back up the road yesterday. Missing him.
