Its Christmas! Sitting in Wetherspoons on my own, but not sad or unhappy, quite content actually. Out last night with the Mighty Dom, wander round town. Half Moon of course, sat at the window seat that Alice and I had watched the world go by on many Sunday afternoons. World still going by. Lot younger clientele these days, and your shoes don’t stick to the carpet. Met some new people, Matt recently separated from wife, 46, back at parents. He was obviously sad about that, bloody tough, but we did cheer him up. Isaac son of old drinking buddy, fine to talk to an old fart, and fired up with life. Seeing young people happy, confident and seeing a bright future is so satisfying.

Cricket Club next, really pleased to see Charlie AKA Towels. Bit gloomy there so back to Moon. More, too many beers, danced to whatever was on, Jona Lewie! What a dance tune…not.

So, today. Had opportunities to have Christmas dinner with others but that has fallen though, so hanging out at Spoons with an even more odd bunch than normal. Don’t want to say sad, but, I think so in some cases.

Spoken to all my wonderful children. And Mum of course, who tells me it is just a normal Saturday, fair enough.

What will next year bring? 😃
