Better get Blogging before years ends!

Been in 'can't be bothered' mode, only when chatting with friend this morning that I don't even have coffee in the mornings now, couldn't be bothered to do the faffing about to make it... 

She said "be bothered" and it's true! I must be bothered, and not just about the coffee making! 

I haven't been bothered about anything!

But we all should be, and that's my New Year's Resolution!

Being bothered is good! It should be my motto for 2025 be bothered!! 

Okay, it is! And that's that!!

Had a wonderful Christmas down with my youngest son and his family.. 

We walked to Cole Green station, and had an early drink of ginger beer! On a cold chilly morning, we were outside just before it opened at 11am on Boxing Day morning.. perfect!

Yes, this is the old platform... Looks quite surreal.. with the mist... 

Yesterday I tramed, is that a word? Like 'bused' somewhere?

Anyways! I got the tram then walked! To a retail park and J&S Motorbike store... 

I purchased myself a jacket and boots, and frankly my dears I had a wonderful time!

Then back into town met up with son and babes, long long wander around town, looking for a present for oldest babe who is on the edge of turning ten! 10! Diez! Unbelievable, where did this time go...

No, seriously!?

And I also bought Jamie Oliver's new book, because it was half price and because I have wanted it a while, and in spite of the fact I don't actually have my own kitchen! 

I've been to my lockup twice, yesterday and today, looking for my spare glasses...

I use my old ones for being out on a bike, they slide into the helmet without hurting my ears..

But I can't find them .. I would have not shipped them, but waited till the end, and brought them with me.. I've tipped out the bag with all the randomness I ended up with. Not there. And it's the glasses case for my glasses I wear, and the weird but wonderful clip-on shades for when I lost my click ons... 

No doubt they'll turn up, but when I go out I'll have to just not wear any!! Blurrrry here I come!

Going through a few days of not staying asleep and in the middle of the night I put on a podcast and listened to the beginning of the Helen Keller story, I haven't read the story since I was a kid.. yet as I listened it was so familiar, it was like yesterday.

Ending the year with twenty four tattoos and really should get '25th' as my next to mark it's number! And also because I was out for dinner the other night with an old friend.. and chatting with his dad, who I've also known for decades, he agreed 25th must be it!

Okay folks ... Walk with me, take my hand, let's jump into 2025!

Let's be bothered!
