Hi everyone! I am not sure if my old friends are still here. But I just came back to wish everyone a very lovely Christmas. Wishing you all a prosperous New Year Ahead. Here is a Christmas tree in the river from my recent visit at Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds.

@JudyEv Yes I have heard of the Bondi incident and was really surprised about it as things like these are quite uncommon in Aussie.

@flapiz Thanks. All is well here apart from the dreadful carnage at Bondi Beach that you've probably heard about by now.

I will in the next year as I am planning on a change of career. The one I have now is too tasking and time consuming. There are days when I can’t even have time for groceries.

@flapiz I’m happy to see you here and glad you’re enjoying a better life with your partner. Having a reliable partner must be a great comfort, especially when you’re far from your family. By the way, have you visited your family recently?

I have been really busy I think my last post was a very long time ago. Currently working at a very hectic job place. But I feel blessed still I have a very supportive partner that makes life a bit less hard. How’s life on your side of the world?

@LadyDuck I am sorry to hear that but I am glad you are home and can take care of him better there. Have you got good family support in Italy? Sending virtual hugs my friend. May you have the strength it takes to endure and still find joy in the little things despite the hardships

@flapiz - I am very well. My husband sadly developed senile dementia. I sold our large house in Switzerland and we moved to a nice apartment in Italy. It's nice to be back in our own country and I can take care better of my husband here. It's not always easy.

Yes, some of us are still here. I've been wondering if you and your hubby were doing okay.

At least they don't have to worry about watering that Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

@flapiz Thank you. We're doing okay right now. No complaints... We still have the five inch Christmas tree but don't know where we packed it away.
