Winter Blues


Oh Christmas is so over, and now we are braving January which is a month I detest , its gloomy , the skies are grey, my friends are all hibernating trying to recover from all the overeating .
The decorations have to be taken down and the flat looks miserable and neglected . one feels like escaping but it is impossible.
However let me reflect on the good things about last year I will make a list and cheer myself up


1 Liz's wedding, (so romantic !)

2. Dominic's wedding, (So much fun !)

3 Meeting Tyla

4 Getting interviewed at the Rome Gay pride even though I'm straight !


5 My friend Charles winning the O Henry Prize 2007 for short stories,

6 That day in Dublin with Nicky,

7 Giuseppe's birthday party,

8 Taking the Irish around Rome,

9. Taking the Australians around Rome ,

10 My new second hand car ,

11 Spending time this summer with my weird, wonderful, fighting family!

12. Venice with Anne
