nearly christmas

well, i am in the run up to holiday time as i complete my last full week and then im off work until January 7th 2008.

It has been a year of events and next year is set to continue with the trend. I am sure you read my last few entries, and are aware of my impending separation after a long 16 years of marriage. While i have no intention of sharing intimate details, i did decide to put some stuff on here because there may be others of you going through similar times.

My last few weeks have been concerned with futile petty battles with the wife and her family. It came to a head at the beginning of the week when there was a large "discussion" during which time I tried to keep calm and sane. Then things sort of got a bit better, the air being clearer for a while.

I dont know how long the accomodation situation will take to resolve, but my latest offer of a bungalow has fallen through for various reasons; and we're back to bidding on properties few and far between.

At least I have a long break from work and als0 from home, because the family is going away for 4 days and then i am going with my new partner for a week away.

Happy holidays to you all!
