Dec. 2016 blog entry. 'My new Love'

Another year nears its end and I for one will be glad to see the back of it! This year has mostly been pain and heartache. My wife of twenty plus years decided she wanted to ‘move on’ and so she did. In Cyprus, anything official takes an eternity to come to its conclusion but in this case it took only ten months to issue me with documents informing me of my marriages end and that Sarah is now my ‘ex wife’, divorced in ten months! I wish her well and hope she finds the happiness I obviously couldn’t give her.
 
Moving swiftly on to happier things......
I have not been idle. I would like to introduce to you my new love! She is a long time friend and companion with whom I have developed an even closer bond with in these my troubled times. She is always by my side and comforts me in my times of confusion. She gives me warmth on these cold Cyprus Winter nights. She can make me laugh and she can make me cry and she has also been known to make me sick! She is a tad older than me having been born 1801 in Strathisia in the Highlands of Scotland. Her name is Chivas....Chivas Regal, and regal she is!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy Christmas and healthy New Year. Chivas and I will probably spend Christmas together accompanied by a bowl of Peanuts, or as its Christmas, I might treat myself to some Cashew nuts.
