Visible to anyone in the world

Enjoyed the Christmas Carols from Kings and we ate mince pies. It felt cosy indoors with lots of candles on in the house.
Watched some DVDs and did some reading when I was able to feel a bit stronger.
Still watching  the french Detective 'Maigret'  films on Talking pictures, in french on TV. I prefer the french version because it helps me to remember the french language skills I have acquired over the last couple of years with the OU. I am hoping to buy the box set of Maigret this year when I can manage to save up!
My book collection is growing as I managed to pick up some books from the secound hand book shop in the city, well before christmas, for just a couple of pounds.
The weather has been too wet for walking lately in the country, it is full of potholes everywhere and muddy puddles. My walks have had to be confined only to the village, around the outskirts through the housing estates, by the pavements and along the established public footpaths. However, I am  tired and short of breath  by the time I return home. Hopefully this year it will be better. A Happy Healthy New Year to Everyone!
