After a rather long break, where all sorts of things, some good, some not so, have happened, I'm back. Not with a vengeance though.
2012 was not a fantastic year really, was it? Dreadful fires, storms, floods, killings, epidemics, mistreatment people and animals ( never ending subject that one)... the list seems to be endless.
However, there were some small lights, in fact a few rather big ones with a hell of a whomp! I'm talking of Queen Elizabeth of England's Jubilee year celebrations, and her subjects did her proud. Marvellous pageantry, wonderful outpouring of affection, some great street festivals and concerts taking place, especially at the front of Buckingham Palace and then the fantastic Olympic Games followed by the Paralympics, and this was all in London. What a great summer that was, it pushed all the suffering and hardship to one side and showed the world what one small country can do. Of course her Majesty was rather good with Bond in her parachuting into the stadium! Thanks Ma'am for some laughs with that..
It made a change after looking at the horrible cavorting of the never ending saga of the appalling Kardashians, Jordan and the like!
On my front, my daughter sailed through her Masters degree, I went to London in the midst of a zero degree cold spell, to see her graduate with her friends, in the pomp and ceremony which England does so very well. And then she and her fiance came to visit me for Christmas and what a celebration that was. Now we are into 2013.... what happens here? President Obama has been voted in, thank heavens, for another 4 years and maybe he can get somewhere now after all the dreadful mess he was left by the Republicans who really fell flat on their faces!
But the nonsense goes on. Yet more people getting blasted away in the USA and the morons who are up in arms at thinking they cannot live in a gun free country. Well, let me tell you something. I do. And I never live in fear. Try it sometime.
Good, isn't it...........
