Ho ho ho
I am in a reasonably good mood today.
It is a pleasent day and the sun is shining. It’s not too cold and I had a grand night’s sleep.
The main reason though is that all that fucking “festive” ho ho ho shite of the last couple of weeks of December is over. It’s back to business, people. OK, I know this is a Bank Holiday [I think], but Bank Holidays happen all year round so I can accept that. I like to sit at home thinking of all of you sweating away in offices. It’s one of the great benefits of retirement.
Normally I wouldn’t be too impressed with the first week of the new year as traditionally, the coldest part of the year has still to arrive. This year though it has to bean anticlimax after December. I mean to say, if January or February are colder than the stuff we have been tolerating, then we are really up the frozen shit creek without the proverbial paddle.
So, assuming the worst of the weather is over, then things are looking up. The snowdrops are up but not quite budding yet. The days are getting longer. Bertie Ahern is out of politics and apparently not running for the presidency [if the little shit had retired ten years ago, we probably wouldn’t be in the mess we are in]. Fianna Fail are in their death throes. What more could anyone want?
In fact, I felt so good today that I decided to give my laptop a spring clean. I wiped the operating thingy and reloaded it. I’m not sure why. It just seemed like a good idea at the time. And so far, everything is running smoothly and a couple of wee problems I had been having have disappeared.
Happy days are here again.
I know I’m a bit slow, but I finally fiqured it out…Your my freaking ol neighbor, Jmy Keegan…you old fart your as American as the rest of us! Think you can hide out on this blog site? Not likely.
Saints protect us he lives amoung us!
It’s always a good time to look up and be positive.
Brighid – That’s a grand Irish name! Not me though. [I live the other side of you]
Brianf – He who looks up is usually the first to fall into an open manhole.

Which made me think of you Rambles, that’s why I tagged you over at our place.
Now dust off your old camra (which one is yours?) and give us a flash of your workstation mate.
I’ll bet you will surprise us all and not have a pipe/cigar/cigarette in sight! (Please don’t hold me to that bet.)
BTW Have a fantastic new year and the rest of your offspring will have the same.
Respect.
GD in a good mood? The omens bode well for 2011. I guess you are not going to make a new year’s revolution after all.
Methinks we have gotten our ONE BIG positive shot for the year.
Whatever you do don’t visit the weatheraction site of one Piers Corbyn!
I’ve decided 2011 is going to be the Year of the Awkward Question and tomorrow I begin the asking.
Glad 2011 is going well for you so far. I’m holding off getting too bloody cheery after how last year went.
