Xmas is on the way once again and grandparents are in high demand. I should know as today I have had my my first long session of caring for the grand kids.

Three of them, and stopping overnight as mom and dad are at a Xmas dinner dance.

I have done my share of reading stories and trying to keep them amused, but this is only the start of the runup to Xmas.   More days and nights to come, but the one I am dreading is when one of my other young grandsons comes to stay for Xmas.  I will then have four of them for an allnight session and as they don’t see him very often it is like mayhem when they are together.

Apart from being together they have the excitement of Xmas to look forward to so I think I will buy some earplugs for that night.  Craig lives in Wales but comes to us every school holiday including Xmas, so I still have the joy of putting up Xmas decorations and shopping for loads of presents.

It is a bit more difficult this year as I suffer with my back and at the moment I can barely walk, but my son who lives with me is a great help, so he will do all the difficult tasks. I just hope I am fit enough to cook Xmas dinner but we’ll manage somehow.

Happy Easter everyone, this is my first posting in bits and pieces.  It is just bits of information or possibly something nonsensical.

I did start off with business opportunities but I am sure most of you find what you are looking for by surfing the web, so I have decided to change tack and just post what I feel like doing.

I have just had a Kingsmill hotcross bun and it was delicious, I have to give them 10/10.  I expect many of you are off for the weekend, if its in the UK then wrap up warm, you won’t be needing shorts at this time of the year. 

They should keep Easter in April we would have more chance of nice weather then and the weekend would be enjoyable, still as long as the rain keeps off it won’t be too bad.

We are almost a quarter of the way through the year, I am going to start buying my Xmas presents in the next week or two. It might sound crazy but it keeps the credit card bills down so no worries after Xmas.

How many of you have given up already on your New Years resolutions I wonder! I played safe and didn’t make any.

 Did you know its the Spring equinox today, that means there are equal parts of daytime and night time. It is said to be the official start of spring and the equinox is how christians calculate when Easter is celebrated.
