Before I bore you with my moaning feet, may I firstly wish you all a very Happy New Year! Yes, it’s 2015 already, and I’d only just got used to 2014. Rude.
My moaning feet… well, it’s all because I took them out dancing on New Years Eve. To a party. i thought they deserved a treat as I don’t think they danced once during the year other than in a ‘Just Dance’ dance-off with our mini-me daughter (who, may I add, I beat all the time despite being an old bird compared to a young whipper-snapper). I haven’t taken them to any parties, dance classes, nights out… So, I dressed them in a smart pair of shoes, with heels no less, and tights without ladders. And, we danced, me and my feet, to all sorts of tunes. There were modern ones (because I’m trendy and fashionable and down with the kids…), and old ones, and in between ones like ‘I’m in the Mood for Dancing’ – Nolan Sisters rock. And, my feet danced, and danced, and danced. And, they didn’t complain once during the night. But, yesterday and today, they are not happy. In fact, they’re miserable and i don’t think I’ll take them dancing again, unless they change their attitude and stop being miserable. I’m going to dress them in flat shoes and boots, and socks with holes in the toes.
What did you all do for New Year? We decided to go somewhere glamorous, warm, fashionable, cosmopolitan… Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth. And it was fab.
So today I’m writing, writing, writing. Second book needs to be written quickly as I’ve a deadline, and so I’ve started it and, so far, quite like it. Still so grateful that ‘Friendship, Love and Apple Tea’ has continued to sell over the festive period. Thank you!!!! Well, it is set in Turkey after all, which goes with Christmas.
I’m off now to comfort my feet… enjoy the first weekend of the year everyone. And may 2015 be full of everything you dream of.
