I'm sending him my best wishes!<br />In the U.S., when union members drive by any sort of union people on strike, they beep their car horns loudly, over and over, so I do the same for him!<br /><br />Yes, I'll hug some trees! The snow was falling gently today. We're still waiting for the ground to freeze, which will make walking easier.<br /><br />I wish you the best this month. Keep Christmas warm and well with your loved ones.<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-33879364955737785332011-11-23T08:24:10.896-05:002011-11-23T08:24:10.896-05:00I had forgotten about Thanksgiving, have a lovely ...I had forgotten about Thanksgiving, have a lovely time, easily done I'm sure in your lovely countryside, as long as you can forget woes! Our weather has been very mild but I think the snow will be here soon.<br /><br />I hope you can get enough work in the coming year. It looks like Jack is going to be on strike on the 30th, it has been over 25 years since the last strike. Otherwise, we're counting the days until the holidays.<br /><br />Hug some trees for me - and Sasha - and if you have the time put up some Sasha photos!Katrinahttp://piningforthewest.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-14071255809224473912011-11-22T18:46:58.092-05:002011-11-22T18:46:58.092-05:00Katrina,
You are a dear comrade to have responded ...Katrina,<br />You are a dear comrade to have responded to that rant! Yet it is all true, and I felt better reading it all over again tonight.<br /><br />Sigh. More relaxing days are upon us! Why, Thanksgiving is day after tomorrow! I have lots of work for the holiday, <br />BUT, do you know what's saving us now?<br /><br />Our beautiful woods! And our beloved Sasha (read dog)!<br /><br />I'm scrambling for more work for the coming year, but...there are lovely snowy days coming our way. Snowstorm tonight and tomorrow!<br /><br />I do hope your reading is growing apace, and I do hope your husband is not too overburdened with work at this time. Christmas Break is coming!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-56161861183217108912011-11-21T17:53:25.776-05:002011-11-21T17:53:25.776-05:00Judith,
I hope it helped you to get all of that of...Judith,<br />I hope it helped you to get all of that off your chest, I'm worried about your blood pressure! Although things are very bad here too it's nowhere near as awful as it must be for you. The National Health Service may be creaking at the moment but we are so grateful for it, it must be a nightmare for you having to worry about how to pay for things which should be free. I think making money from sick people is despicable and I know that some people in the US hate the thought of an NHS and slag it off, but believe me it's the jewel in our crown! I'm glad to hear that the Occupy Movement is having some impact anyway.Katrinahttp://piningforthewest.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
