Tomorrow the lights come down.

It's been exactly four weeks since Mum came back with us to stay after her operation. During this time, the young things arrived at various times, stayed, left, and lobbed in again. It's been, for me, four weeks of celebration and tonight is the first night without anyone in the house. Even Bob has deserted going to Adelaide with Tom.

There are so many good things to say, I won't bore you all with the list.

Best wishes to you all for 2014
