Happy New Year everybody!

Quick catch up as very tired and only scanned through quickly!

We made it! We are in Rome, the Eternal City, and the sun was shining all day. Fantastic day apart from the cough that keeps on, but at least we made it one step further towards home.

Tomorrow overnight train to Paris. Then 2 nights there then......

ET GO HOME!!!

Last day or so at mum's was good, she was really sweet, still uncuddly but sweet and not challenging at all, made us lovely food and fussed around us like a traditional mum. It was wonderful.

Night in the ship, meant to be our New Year cruise back to the Continent, spent in bed from early on due to extreme tiredness and we missed the ship party! Never mind. Solid sleep apart from nasty bout of cough.

Can't wait for the cough to go, it is frightening.

Thinking of all the poorlies and those with troubled souls xx I too hope Hilstep is ok and will steep up the prayers.

Good night.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a peaceful, healthy and prosperous 2017 whatever you choose to do.

Got up at around 07:30 but still felt tired. Had poached eggs on avocado toast with lots of hot coffee. Decided to get the place sorted out as the cleaning ladies Christmas absence has left it looking a bit worse for wear. Potted around. Had some YS Waitrose Essential sausages (all the deli ones had sold out) with mash for lunch but they were horrible. The uneaten ones went into the bin.

Did a food shopping and 'to do' list for tomorrow. Need to pick up a 'Click & Collect' cycle helmet and jacket from the sales. Also need to get some bakeware in John Lewis which goes off sale on Tuesday. While I'm there I'll get some Orthex storage boxes.

Wanted to go for my usual long Sunday run but skipped it today.
