But I almost certainly will be seeing it.<br /><br />Thanks for your Xmas wishes, which I heartily reciprocate - and I can promise yo that it is echoed by the three little 'uns.<br />Have a joyous New Year. a 2017 which must surely only be better than the one disappearing - with a "Good riddance!" from me.<br />Do enjoy the rest of the hols, together with all those around you.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-41178210119083774792016-12-24T21:38:44.352-08:002016-12-24T21:38:44.352-08:00Thanks so much for your concern, Paul. I've be...Thanks so much for your concern, Paul. I've been quite badly 'under the weather' for two weeks with the heaviest bout of flu I've experienced since Xmas 1999, but that now seems to be in the past. I've taken away the bucket from the bedside now. (Here's hoping there won't be a relapse.) Unfortunately my condition put me out of commission for all this time, meaning that I've missed seeing three or four films I did so want to see to round off the year, which have gone now. But hoping I'll squeeze in a couple more this coming week. <br />Otherwise, all is okay here, as is also with my pussycats, though they're all getting so old now. Blackso must now be 18 - in human year equivalents that's probably older than me myself! - though apart from being very shaky on his legs he seems to be fine.<br /><br />I wish all the very best to you and those close to you. I do appreciate your thoughts very much indeed, and on this Xmas morn (5.30 a.m.) I hope you enjoy the rest of the hols and have a marvellous 2017. <br />'See' you later on the blogs.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-6888614511713112402016-12-24T21:26:36.615-08:002016-12-24T21:26:36.615-08:00Very many thanks, F.B. - and I wish you and yours ...Very many thanks, F.B. - and I wish you and yours every bit of the same.<br />Due to seasonal illness haven't been on blogs a lot recently but I do try to keep up with your blogs - and now that the little unpleasantness seems to be over I hope to see more of you there again.<br />Happy Xmas on this very day!
