Trials and tribulations

As I write we're still crossing everything in the hope that Mum makes it over for Christmas. Her flight on Tuesday morning was cancelled because of fog in Derry, so was the evening one. The next day's flights were cancelled because of fog in England. She transferred to the morning flight today and we haven't heard from her so far so no news is good news. She's spent every day driving to and from Derry, not nice. Even if she can just make it over to Britain, that would be a start.

Went to my work Christmas party last night. I won a raffle for the first time in my life, an extra day's holiday - hurrah! Sat next to a man with the worst social skills I've ever come across!! When I asked him where he was from, he answered 'Why?'!!

Joe's cough is still causing him bother, he also has a spectacularly runny nose. Coupled with his conjunctivitis he's one crusty little guy! I took him to the doctor on Tuesday and he wouldn't give me anything for it all. Made me feel like I was wasting his time.
