David birthday was a quiet one and went to a lovely hotel for Sunday brunch with his brother and nephew. February
This month I prepared myself for my new job and also spending time around London as my friend Gerard came to visit me from France and also Bill from North Carolina. It is nice to discover your city and seeing "Le Miserables" with a french and I managed to see for the first time the changing of the guards. March
A couple of birthday this month including mine, but Gavin's 40 was fun as usual! Jim from Detroit to come and visit me and we enjoyed a lovely time here in London and he stayed for Easter here in the UK. We also saw "An American in Paris", which I thought it was a wonderful show and "42 Street" which dancing was awesome! April

Celebrating Iain's 40 birthday in Florida, but before that we had a good celebration for Halloween. But the holidays had to be shortened as David had a fall at home and was sent a hospital. So flew back and wait until David recovers but seems it is going to be a long time one. Albert from Florida visit us. December
The end of the year turned gloomy as David has been in hospital for more than a month. Our cruise for December was cancelled as David poor health made him unable to go, so Me and Jim followed through. Having a nice Xmas at home and looking forward to David's speedy recovery and a healthy 2018! |
