Well, we've been in the new house over two weeks now and it has rained every day. So, the plans for the garden will have to wait for spring! So, we're working on the inside! The new therapy room is looking really lovely, painted in a warm toffee colour. With dimmed lighting and a few candles burning, it has just the relaxed atmosphere I was looking for. The next big job is the kitchen, cnsequent to many hours spent in Ikea, looking, thinking planning and deciding! The aim is to have a fully functioning new kitchen by Christmas, which, I was informed today will all be over a month from now!! Eeek!

On the train to Llanelli with my iPod, pad and pen. I don't usually travel this way. I probably haven't been on a train in this direction since Uni days, some 12 years ago. Bust Bee BlogI can't really work out where I am; so used to getting in the car, pointing the bonnet towards the M4 and heading off. But, I cannt deny, I enjoy my train journeys. On the busy short journeys I get to people watch and on the longer journeys I get to enjoy the greenery going by. Some lovely glimpses of rivers winding below the track. From Cardiff Central to Pontyclun in just over 10 minutes. Try doing that by car! I can't say I'm a covert and would happily give up my four wheels permanently, but for now, while I have no choice, I'm going t enjoy my journey and yes, definitely, the train can take the strain!

A work colleague recetly passed away after a brief battle with cancer. it was only today, when I saw a photo did I realise who he was. I never knew his name but often bumped into him in the kitchen or in the corridor. He was 29 eyars old. There are more than 50 people from Torfaen County Borough Council doing a sponsored walk on the 11th to raise money for Velidre Cencer Centre. You can donate here. The fragility and mortality of man strikes me again, and the cruelty and injustice of life. Rest in peace, Jon Conick. Wishing the walkers of Torfaen good health, good weather and good fortune. xxxx
