Post 341. GOODBYE TO 2019

A BEWILDERING YEAR. 
Sad, but with a few highs.
One of  the highs for me.
The very recent kindle publication of  my story for children aged nine to ninety nine. 
Thanks to the efforts of our son, Neil, whose artwork graces the cover, The Badgers of  Deepwood (originally written - and still written throughout - as Deep Wood) can now be bought on Amazon Kindle for the princely sum of £2.30. 
I hope you will think it worth giving a try. The price shouldn't break you and it's a good read, even if I do immodestly say so. 
And an even bigger high. 
The progress made by our daughter, Roz, in completing her chemo sessions and making preparation for the reconstruction of breasts operation next year. Keep a kind place in your heart for her. 
More when we know more. 
And then the sadness.
At the putting down of our dear pal for many years, the cat Shadow, He was all of twenty four/five years old and in fast failing health, so I accept it was the kindest, the only sensible, thing to do for him. But I can neither forgive myself for arranging it nor stem my tears at the memory of it. Us and our animals, eh?  
Nor can we help but worry. 
At the health problems undergone by mates like John A. and Ian D. this year. We can only wish them both a full recovery and all the very best for 2020.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 
To you, too, dear reader.
Don't let politicians get you down!
