2009, Bring it On !!

Happy New Year everyone.

It's 00:30 hrs on the 2nd of Jan. Its still a public holiday here in Gods country. I really should be in bed coz I've got visitors coming to stay for the weekend, but I had a wee rest of my eyes ant 8.30 and now I've got my second wind.

So Hogmanay has come and gone. Spent the evening in the Beatson with my Da, who was high as a kite, for although he was in over the bells, had just been told he'd be out by lunch time on the 1st. One Happy Bunny.

You may have gathered the my Da quite enjoys a small half or 2 so when the lassie came round with the dinner menu and asked him for his drink of choice his face lit up like a bolisha beacon. Hhhhmmmmm he thought, couldn't decide. When he enquired after the choices he was offered ONE can of beer or a sherry, well f*%k me he exclaimed "i don't think I'll bother" My Maw didn't help matters, for when we arrived team handed she left it to his granddaughter to produce the goods. His face lit up again..... TWO bottles of becks woop woop. Slight problem, he didn't have his specks on to read that they were non alcoholic ...... oops.


Anyway he is home safe now. We start the year as at least the first half will continue. Bloody chemo at the centre of it.

It was not all doom and gloom as may have been expected. The women in my family know how to party, I felt sorry for Jay Mac my 14.5 year old son who had to endure us lot partaking of the vino callapso as if we were about to die. Apart from my Da, who was IN the hospital, the other men in my life are all employed in the emergency services, and believe it or not the were all bloody NIGHTSHIFT.

Jay Mac, our first foot. Bottle of Jura, and a pack of toilet roll. the boy's got class.


Cue the girls.....

All the best, Mrs Mac xox
