Just in case you're interested

Well as any of you who have followed me in the past will possibly notice I haven't been making any contributions to this blog lately. Well Christmas has come and gone since then so I thought maybe, just maybe I might just stir up the brain cells and see what comes up.
Christmas itself was a bit of a damp squib, caused by a family member who hadn't been playing ball for some time and it all came to light, I say no more about it as it's family business, suffice to say it left a few of us shell shocked.
A couple of nice things have happened though, two of my grandchildren got engaged,, Lovely Nicola, whose partner Daryl proposed when they went to Disneyland in Paris with Tommy their little boy. Then Craig my only grandson asked the also lovely Jade to marry him. They threw an engagement party a couple of weeks ago. I don't know when the weddings will be.
My brother's health deteriorated and recently died, so that meant a trip to Scotland to attend his burial, very sad.
It makes me ponder about life a bit though, as one side of my family is growing, the other older side is deteriorating,  I am the only one left out of four brothers and a sister, and their various  spouses.
 But then that's the way it has always been, and what keeps the world turning.
We had a Valentines party at the dance club, it was a nice evening I ate a bit too many goodies, and woke up this morning around 1 am with a bit of a tummy, but after a light lunch I'm OK again. serves me right I just love party food.
The winter is dragging on, it has been unrelentingly cold and wet, with a few days of snow back along.
Although to-day is still chilly though dry, there somehow seems to be a slight change in the feel of the air, perhaps it's because the birds are singing more and I see a few chasing each other so maybe and hopefully, spring is just around the corner.
