January, sick & tired, you keep hanging on me...

I'm kind of glad January has gone. I pretty much did nothing for the whole of January. Mind you I've not done much for the start of February either! But I'm feeling quite positive, especially as the days are getting lighter. Milo wakes me at about 6.30 every morning and is more than keen to go on his walk at about 7ish. The problem is it's dark at that time and Milo is scared of the dark. I think he believes I can take him to a place that is not dark at 7 am and therefore pesters me until we go out. This week it has started to get light at about 7.30 so all is good.

My son and his girlfriend have just bought their first house and moved in last week. I'm so happy for them both. It's just down the road from me and I've noted it has a large empty garage too. I may suggest he turns it into a granny flat for me and Milo. Only joking son! I am extremely proud of my son, he has the most beautiful girlfriend, a wonderful career and now his own home. I don't know how I managed to produce such a level headed child, I think I may have to request a DNA test.

I've not put much effort into my online dating of late as I've been feeling 'ugly'.  But I've now realised its only eight days until Valentine's Day and it's just going to pass me by, again. I think I might fire up the Beast, drive somewhere nice and cook a romantic candle lit dinner for MiloandMe....

My Valentine Date...

My 'granny' flat...
