As 2015 draws to close it is time to review the year as it is, as it was. Reflecting on life that has been led by me in my Pete-centric universe.

  1. What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before?

Well that is easy I wrote a Masonic paper with other people and compared  notes and learnt lots.

Completed 100days of being creative.

 

  1. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

  Did you have any Challenges in 2015 and were you successful, and will you have more Challenges for 2016?

“Challenge 2015”.  Was 3 things,  100days – PASSED, write an Esoteric Paper – PASSED x 4 and final the shared story, this was a failure due to the fact that life got on top of me for a bit.  For full review see the Lessons Learned Post.

  1. Did anyone close to you give birth?

The wife, that’s pretty close to me I think!

W.Bro Reg’s wife passed away, there have been others but I do not remember, but as we get into this time of the year more great friends may pass to the GL above!

 

  1. What countries did you visit?

No countries this year or hols, we when to North Wales but as that is a principality of Britain it not really count as separate country.

 

  1. What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015?

Money, but you can always say that.  Hmm perhaps more time ? Not really sure as this has been a good year

So after a restless last night, I thought I’d try  get this done by 11pm.

PC Edwards entered the second bedroom, he found the bed partially unmade. Old clothes in plies around the bed, wardrobe open  with clothes hanging out. Schaw apeared at the door, anyone else here?
No.
Then sweep for drugs and I’ll see you in the lounge.

The Dc walked into the lounge, there were uniforms  milling in and out of the room and kitchen, on the couch was the monk and the man  from the bathroom. Chris was just about to begin questioning the felons, when there was a shout from the kitchen.
Following the commotion he found Sergeant Owens at the top of the cellar door.

Morning, this was delayed due to being a father, Henry would not settle so I only had time to do this

So yawn and must try harder
