No doubts that we did or we didn't...?!

<Your holiday sounded wonderful; said with an envious sigh>
No doubts that you didn't behave obviosuly Maud! The place is like a rough pub when the place is without a mod- red wine flows freely, handbags and broken bottles are thrown with abandon and the place simmers with violence. But now im back and you will all fall into line if you know whats good for you :D

Just had a great week in Tenerife catching a last bit of sunshine. Had never been there before and was very impressed with it.

Happy New Year! We get a public holiday on Monday 2nd January 2012.

“Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true."

A hour and 81 minutes until 2012... Not doing much, just going to do something with my old man I suppose. :)
