    bergamo was (from stansted £19.99) was very good fun going round the old town and narrow streets full of Xmas joys

    Spent a night a lake Garda also (45 mins away) and had sunny breakfast on the shore in the sun shine (excellent wine for 3 euro a glass)

    Back in grimly London now

    She went to a lovely local place to recoup after she fell over and broke her hip a few years ago. Hmm... I wonder...

    EDIT: £1310 a week for respite care, min two weeks. I may have a chat with the parentals this weekend.

    Off to the parentals tomorrow. Grandmother's 98th birthday weekend but she's in hospital having suffered hallucinations from not eating properly and being generally on her way out. She wants to go home, hospital wants her to go home. Fortunately someone sensible is listening to my Dad who has pointed out she can't look after herself properly and she needs care. Sounds like she's not yet ill enough to go to the hospice that she's registered with which is a shame as it's a lovely place, she knows the staff, and she'd be much more comfortable there. If I could pay for her to have a bed there, I would.

    Yep, but in Welsh.

    This evening, videoing the Panto, also Saturday afternoon. The Christmas Market is on (last night they had a free open air jazz concert with various bands, which was fun), so I'll have a few glühwein, which'll be nice. Sunday... gym maybe, sauna... dunno.
    Cheers - I updated.

    Hopefully a really boring weekend. Off to the land of the sheep eaters where children and wife will annoy me. This is not my favourite time of year.

    Lots of bad news this week. Only one piece of good news. I think most are aware I only hang round CUK to support those affected by HMRC. One of my victims, who I talked out of suicide, sent me a superb Christmas car. It has London skyline on a plastic wallet. Inside the plastic wallet is stars so it looks really coll when you shake it! Everyone in the office is admiring it! I think I might add a couple of "x"s to the Ladies name - just to wind up mrs-bp. Not that I am keen on hospital food.....

    It would also be great to hear about Zig-Mater.

    No doubt no-one will ask me what I am up to. Which is good really as I hate you all. I just hope I never meet any of you in real life.....
