Hi everyone, just to wish everyone on GoY a merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
I haven’t been on here very much just lately, mainly because, as some of you may know, back in september I got shingles, and I am still suffering the after effects of them, with post herpetic neuralgia, and the position it’s in prevents me from leaning over my laptop for very long, and I haven’t been able to research any new material for a blog,
{funny or otherwise}, plus my router decided to pack in, and had to wait nearly 3 weeks for a new 1, and then it took several days before I could get my laptop to connect wirelessly with my printer, finally managed it.
So a merry Christmas, and a very happy new year, Derek.

What a pain Derek! In more ways than one! Happy Christmas. I hope 2017 will bring better times. :)

Thanks everyone for all your good wishes, I'm sure it will soon start to get better, next week would be good, as I have to drive down to Cornwall, for my step granddaughters wedding on 22nd, then drive back on 23rd, so hopefully it might have eased off a bit, fingers crossed, Derek.

Driving long distances can be stressful. Which may make it worse. Any chance of a rail ticket ?

14 Dec, 2016

 

Hi Diane, I've looked into that possibility, it's impossible to get a ticket now, plus I don't fancy paying over £130 each, so I'll just have to drive unfortunately, Derek.

Well at least you haven't lost your positive attitude, Derek.

Enjoy the wedding! And 2017!

Thanks Eirlys, I'm sure we will enjoy it, the reception will be held at a very posh golf resort called St mellion, apparently they host the British open on occasion, Derek.

Sorry to hear you are still suffering Derek, I do know that condition takes an age to recover from and sincerely hope you are on the way to full health, take care on your journeys and enjoy the celebrations...
Merry Christmas Derek and Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2017.....

Thank you Sue, Yes it's been 3 months now, apparently as you get older it takes longer to heal, some people heal in 3-4 months, some 12 months or more, and a small percentage never heal completely, so I have my fingers crossed ?.
Wishing you and your family, a very happy Christmas, and all the best for 2017, Derek.

Hi 3d, yes I guessed that was what you intended to say, I think my biggest fault is forgetting to press the space bar, and not noticing that google has underlined it, I don't always take notice of it anyway, because it uses the American spelling, which is usually incorrect in English, but correct in American English, Derek.

I dont get that like you Derek as I am on a phone I use to get it when I used the pc.

Its alright paying for Rail Tickets as long as you remember to book your seats at the same time ! Call it an investment in relaxation.
