Up it

To counteract my slight moan yesterday, here is a list of things I am really happy about, really optimistic about and really looking forward to:

People are cheering up a bit now it’s nearly Christmas.
The house we live in is slowly becoming ours.
Philippa is still with me, after two years of marriage!
My superiors at work have given us a glowing report for our efforts over this year (especially since going to 24-hour opening) so hopefully they’ll leave me alone to get on with it in 2018 instead of frequently coming down to stick their noses in.
We’re having a belated Christmas party in the New Year, when Sophie is off work and can come and stay.
There’s a Winter Olympics on the way.
There’s a FIFA World Cup next Summer, so I’ll be able to sell loads of patriotic tat to van drivers, and will sell a years worth of Carling every time there’s a match involving England.
