At least I was only in that fucking cast for six weeks. Cycling and major photo projets will have to wait until next year. One thing I will never do is get annoyed with anyone who has to use a zimmer frame
On the cat front we bade farewell to our beloved Mimi in February. Mimi was just five years old when she died. She was severely disabled, crapped everywhere but the litter tray but she was so sweet and we loved her unconditionally
In July we took in a cat that needed a new place to live. It took him about three minutes to make himself at home!
And that was my event filled year. Sad, eh? Wishing both of my readers happy New Year
I had an incredibly exciting year. I won a Flann O'Brien book, and my poetry was published (with other great poets) on a famous, well-known blog called The Poor Mouth.
ReplyDeleteDear Jams, if you managed to re-learn how to walk, consider yourself a great man. And your photos are out of this world. All the best in 2010 to you, the not-wife, and your feline population.
If you've read my other blog, you know I've disabilities that will never go away.
ReplyDeleteThat you are walking again is good and something that will get better if you work at it. My ex was told about 30 years ago that IF I lived through the next 24 hours, I would be in a wheelchair the rest of my life. I walked out of the hospital 2 months later with a bit of assistance. Now I only use a cane on the rare bad days. Part of success is deciding that you can do it. I know you have been working hard -- just know that recovery takes time and comes in small doses.
Here's to a happy, prosperous and healthy New Year to you and yours!!!
Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the ever confused Mimi who always seemed lost. It was a sad day for all of your readers as well.
ReplyDeleteNow for 2010 a picture of Ted with another cat in the same frame. How does such a lazy cat avoid all other cats
Ah thanks Claudia. the revovery has been slow but I am getting there. I should be back at full strength again next summer
ReplyDeleteKay, a snapped tendon does not compare to what you went through. For me it's been a slow but sure recovery, a bit too slow sadly
Happy New Year Cherie
We still miss little Mimi Beakelin, Ted with another cat... Would one of him trying to hump Robyn do?
I'm wishing you a happy new year Jams and I really do hope that next year you'll be able to shoot again!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Anna
May the best of 2009 in 2010 be(come) the worst!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Jams, to you, the not-wife and all those you love to have around you, including your readers.
Sláinte!
Anna, Sean Thanks. Here's to a Happy 2010 for all of us and all of those we care for and love
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWe had a grey kitty like Mimi, named Mashka. She was a cranky old thing but God we loved her! I am so sorry you lost your Mimi, and at such a young age. But I'm glad you were adopted by the Handsome Orange One. (I have a Handsome Orange One as well!)
ReplyDeleteI missed the bit where you nailed your leg but that looks damn unpleasant!! I hope 2010 is a much better year for you and that you can be scrambling freely very soon.
2010 will be a much better year, I'm sure. Hugs from from afar...
ReplyDeleteI'm not feeling very brilliant today. My obligatory annual self assessment usually leaves me feeling lackluster. I'll tell you a secret, your blog is the first one I visit whenever I sign on. Happy New Year, and thanks for giving the gorgeous orange kitty a good home.
ReplyDeleteI can see you're going to miss that cast huh? Kidding..... I hope 2010 is a time of fast recovery for you, you're in my thoughts. HNY
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Jams. We're still waiting for it on this side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteHappy new decade.
ReplyDeleteShould the same thing happen in 2019 you'll no doubt be able to get a new bionic leg in no time at all.
THanks everyone. Here's wishing you all a Happy New Year
ReplyDeletePouty. THanks I'm honoured!
ReplyDeleteHi jams --
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good 2010. My 2009 generally wasn't too bad, actually -- and I hope to write up something about it before too long. But it threatened to end pretty badly -- so on Dec 31, I was reduced to counting my blessings and thanking the stars that things managed to right themselves somewhat by that very day. :S
In short: hope 2010 is better for both of us -- and the world at large too!
Ah thanks YTSL. I hope 2010 is a great year
ReplyDelete2009 was an incredible hard year for me myself , various reasons. Let us see much more happiness in 2010 for everyone:)
ReplyDeleteAmen to that Nunyaa
