Happy New Year!
First of all, a quick note to say that I’ve almost run out of bandwidth this month (we downloaded a couple of films for the holidays) and I have to make what’s left last until 7th January. This is why I’ve not been doing my usual round of blog visits, alas, and won’t be able to until the 8th.
A surreal piece created in Photoshop with various family photographs, a clock face created for Behind Time using a photo by Rachael Towne on Flickr, a texture from 2 Lil’ Owls, and a fish from The Graphics Fairy.
I’d like to dedicate this post to writer Jo Robinson whose husband passed away suddenly on Boxing Day. It was cruel timing and Jo will have more than the blues to come to terms with now and in the months ahead. I have not stopped thinking about her having to bear such a terrible loss and send her much strength to withstand the tragedy. Take heart, Jo. We’re all thinking of you.

Sad news about Jo’s husband. No time is ever good for such a loss, but the festive season just adds to the heartache.
I look forward to the return of your bandwith,and hope that you enjoyed the films.
Best wishes, Pete. x

Very sad. One film was La Vie en Rose. The other was a Frank Skinner stand-up show. We haven’t watched the first yet but the second was gently enjoyable and rather sweet.

I have La Vie en Rose on DVD. Cotillard is marvellous in it. Heartbreakingly good.

Happy New Year, Sarah. I read Jo’s post on the 26th and I’ve also been thinking about her since. I hope she has plenty of support. A shame we’re so far away…

Happy New Year, Olga! I’ve even been thinking about how to discover Jo’s address as I have a few friends in South Africa who could send her a card on my behalf.

I’m sad to hear of more bloggers suffering. I do think that one’s blogging family become very special and that is as awful hearing such news with offline friends. Nevertheless, Happy New Year!
