It is the end of January already, and while I am freezing in my office my grandparents are on a cruise around the world. They are at this moment in Honolulu. I am hoping that I can look forward to an old age like them. This year is going too quickly for me already. Ah well, I have nothing to complain about I suppose. Apart from the dreaded Valentines Day is approaching and my first one where I am single in years. I am not sure whether to jump for joy or slit my wrists, joyful that I haven’t got to spend any money or sad because I am all alone in this cruel world. I think I shall concentrate on the first option. Well just doing some research and lo and behold Valentines Day originated from Rome. Typical another thing the ever so helpful Romans did for us.

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend. Who would have thought it? We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house. Goodness knows. Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other. I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons. I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all. Also she doesn’t judge. I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...
