This Christmas, I may open a bottle or two of champagne. After over a year of not very
Good news in my business life. Leading to a massive change in direction and the beginning
Of a totally new career, which I absolutely love, using my natural talent for chatting etc. ( So
I've been told ) I feel really happy again, no more grey clouds. -{ and for anyone else who
Are in a bad place ( like the north ) don't give up, keep on keeping on, things will get better. {[]
Wishing you a very happy new year in your new job, TP, happiness in your working life makes everything in the garden rosy {[]
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Thanks guys but I meant it as a bit of advice to anyone, going through a bad patch. There is always
Light at the end of a tunnel, you just might have to take a few more steps to see it. -{

And as Churchill said,
'Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever... give up!'
Well done TP - my Mantra for 2017 is
"Everything you want, is the other side of fear" - it's true.
Sometimes we either have to hit rock bottom to step up - or be fearless in going for our dreams.
(I hit rock bottom this year too... it was a really rough patch - and one of the reasons I haven't been on here much, but it was the biggest and BEST wake up call I've had )
Here's to a kick-ass 2017! :x

You have to dare to fail I think, if you give in to fear and settle for the status quo you simply will never know, I've changed direction many times in my life, and not always through my own choice. I've spent Christmas's alone and with total strangers on a cargo ship in the Persian gulf, I even once spent Christmas day night asleep in my car in a church yard, not through homelessness or anything! I've also made some terrible life decisions but after working in the military, private security,, consulting with the police and customs I hankered after a different life, that caused a divorce and my decision to live on a boat and spend summers in the med which sounds mice but was a lonely existence, I met my now wife and went back to doing a life long enjoyment of mine for a living, I now have a fantastic little boy whos 2 and a great relationship with my two daughters from my first marriage and everything is calm and happy, (though the evil 7 year old step daughter does her best to spoil things) a new start is a great thing. Here's to all of us -{ the milky bars are on me..... I mean the drinks! The drinks are on me.
I've been experimenting with prosecco lately ... It goes well with Chambord. Nice with a peach liquor (like a bellini) and my favourite is prosecco mixed with Martini Bianco ...
At present I'm experimenting with Grant's whisky. It's taking longer than expected, about 35 years so far. I'll let you know when the results are ready.

(Eyes the empty bottles, glasses, decanter, stien, tankards, punch bowl...)
I can see I am going to have a lot of cleaning up to do again.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
She hadn't been in for a while so we had a lot of catching up to do .... and you know what she's[like when she gets going ....
Why, I have no idea what you're talking about )
I discovered rhubarb vodka this summer...add a splash of that to prosecco and you've got a powerful tipple!!
Now, hair of the dog me thinks... barman...bubbles here please -{

(TB2 drops a bottle of Soda water on the Lady Rose's table. There is the unending clatter of bottles, glasses and broken glass, as he pulls a laden trolley towards the kitchen door.)
Soda water as requested, contains bubbles. Lemonade costs extra, as does cola. Nothing alcoholic for 24 hours, while I get this, this, (indicates the trolley and table) under control!
As for the dog, you'll have to get permission from the Cat first, once she finishes playing hide and seek with the Doberman down the road.

I celebrated my 100th post in the S&BS with a pint of Vespers. For my 200th, can I celebrate with a vodka martini...dirty? And hopefully finish it before the table gets wrecked and I get my a*se kicked by a giant?
Absolutely no Bond related presents this year. although a nice surprise was getting

(TB2 pours two glasses of Whisky, and passes one to Pussy. Before picking up the second one, he puts a couple of Deamies cat treats on the floor near Holly's basket. They are each the size of a small cushion.)
Never mind Pussy, it can't be Bond every Christmas, though it can be in the SABS! Happy Christmas! {[]

Try, try again, Mr Wint...
Rather than the things we did ?
There are quite a few...but the one I like is
"In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take"
I'd much rather do something and make a mistake, than not do something and always wish "if only..."
However, this attitude can get you in trouble :v
I'm off to bed just gone midnight here goodnight all -{
