    It was a good idea to go to the NT as this will be a new tradition.
    Glad you feel better today.
    I think once the NY gets underway you will feel on more of even keel. I hope so anyway :)

    Just an update on my Aunt - she died just after 7 this evening. Don't be sad for her - she had a full life on her own terms, and the luxury of dying in peace in her own bed. I am full of admiration for her.

    Today we're doing some work in the morning to finish what we started yesterday, and then tidying and cleaning in preparation for aunt and uncle coming tonight.

    I hope everyone has a good new year's eve.
