It's 8 Dec. Warm but not hot. The 2nd Ashes test is on the tele (and motorracing). I've put up the Christmas tree.
Ian clearly isn't in the space for Xmas. We have had one unhappy shopping trip, so I won't be repeating THAT!
We have spent much of this year tip-toeing around each other. Very careful to make everything neutral, clear, said so he can see my lips or at least that I am talking. Sometimes we still can engage, but not often.
Of course this has been, and still is for Ian, the health year, with over or more treatments for his multiple myeloma still to come, and on and off bone or other discomfort/pain frequently. Here's hoping that he gets some good time next year or two before it comes back.
Me? Applied for the PVC job but such a rotten application that I won't get it (actually I don't really want it, and have only half the requisite experience). So next year I MAY remain as Library Director, or go back to Mgr Info Access. Or something else!
Louie and David were here a couple of weeks ago, only for 3 days, but that was unexpectedly terrific! Louie excellent by himself and I THINK I really engaged with him. David good fun as always. But I don't THINK we got any photos! :-(
