Been A While...

Seems like ages since I posted anything of merit; I suppose it's because at the moment there is little positive to report on the move front, although found out in the last 3 days at work there is a recruitment in the pipeline which gives the possibility of a move, if I jump through all the right hoops, which seems how all moves will be managed from now on...

But enough of this.  Just returned with t'other half from visiting Dearly Beloved Aged Parent in the West Country over Christmas, returning with presents and vittles.  Stopped off on the way back to meet up with some old friends from back in my re-enacting days, stirring up a few memories there!

Belated Christmas Greetings to all and a happy 2012!

Johari's Window...

So, here I am again in Bradford-on-Avon, visiting Dear Beloved Aged Parent. Conversation turns to talking about anger, and losing control. Very calmly, the conversation turned to me expressing a few things to Dad about his temper, and the effect it has had on me. I think it surprised him; fortunately this whole process is happening without either of us losing our tempers - which was always something I feared would happen; the scenario being me and him having a blazing row, and me coming out with "And another thing...!"

I am hoping this will work as part of my healing process.

And so, I was visiting Dearly Beloved Aincent Parent this weekend, and came across some old photographs which caused me a little amusement...

The whirlwind (or, in view of the weather off the South Wales coast yesterday, tornado) tour of the west is over; taking in Bradford-on-Avon (with much looking over shoulders in case of approaching Aged Parental Units), Bath, Wells and Cardiff. And many cathedrals, abbeys and castles were encountered on the way. Much more of this, I suspect, in [livejournal.com profile] longhairelric's livejournal...

And on to tomorrow - packing of bags, heading to airport hotel ready for 10.15am flight on Wednesday.

Weather Warning - Possibility of soggy bears in the Dallas Fort Worth area...!
