Hello, and welcome to the FIRST selfie of the New Year.
Before we kick-off 2020, just a big thank you to those that sent me Christmas Cards and an extra BIG THANK YOU to the Petcretary, Pipo' Dalton and Benji's staff member who made me the most wonderful digital Birthday Card, ever:
Alas, Mrs H has been taken ill since before Christmas, with a nasty chest infection. I did warn her that the antique chest had a bad case of woodworm, but would she listen – no, stubborn, not-so-old (she wishes) thing she is!
Joking aside, she picked it up visiting the sick in the hospital, and it has rather meant things over December have not gone as planned. Even though we weren't blogging or on-line, we weren't able to do much more than cough, wheeze and splutter our way through what was meant to be a 'downtime' and restful last month. Even my birthday lunch was postponed for nearly a week! Anyways she is still partially laid up and taking her medication – not sherry flavoured – and hopes to be in fine cooking form come the end of next November, when we take our next sabbatical.
Anyways, on with the show.
This week I have been making plans for the rest of the year – well not THAT sort of a rest, though sleeping and napping do need to be regularly maintained come rain or shine and hot or cold.
Nope, this year is one where Mrs H an I hope to do great things together, like publish two books: 'Erin and the King Herod's Mystery' by me (watch this space for more info in the coming months), and 'Pirates and Pussycats' co-written with my beloved Persian Prince, Valentine. I also hope to finish writing a third, too, title as yet undecided.
Besides the literary thing, we are having some palatial adjustments made and hope to have a new patio laid, and door through which I can survey my kingdom without battlements, mullions, castellations (that does sound very painful) and whatnot getting in the way.
Yes, 2020 is expected to be a busy, and also expensive year here, so cutbacks will have to be made: one glass of sherry a week for Mrs H, only one pint of cream for me, and definitely no more Brussell's sprouts – the latter will be the easiest to stick to, for sure.
In this week's selfie, you can see me practicing my latest cost-trimming exercise: If I can take more selfies laying down, then I will save a lot of space on the blog!
Thank you for visiting us this week. If you have any cost-saving and tummy trimming tips of your own that you would like to share, please leave them in the comments below.
