Woke up this morning still feeling awful stuffy head and all, and the lack of getting to sleep at a civilized hour hasn’t helped much either.

Looked out the window and it’s all frosty and cold. Jordan wouldn’t get out of bed, stop jumping around or get dressed when I asked him so we were late to school, I’m sure that kid has a radar that tells him when I’m not feeling my best so the best times to play me up are!!

Got home and turned the computer on to find a few of my friends raving about the Rufus Wainright gig at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham last night, which I really wanted to go to but couldn’t, and some of the same friends bragging about looking forward to going to see the Foo Fighters this coming week in Birmingham/Manchester (depending on who I’m talking to) another gig that I wanted go to and can’t (see previous posts for details I’m not going there again!!)

So a brilliant start to the day!! BUT then the postman came and instead of the usual round of Junkmail, Bills and consumer surveys, I have a letter….

…in the age of modern technology with email and mobile phones it has become extremely rare to receive real post, hand written on real paper! But I did and it’s from my uncle in New Zealand..I got very exicted. he has yet again extended the offer for me to go over and stay with him and his family ( I have an aunt and 3 cousins over there that I have never met) and was telling me how his eldest as joined the army! It brightened up a very miserable morning so heres to hoping things can only get better from here!!
