Well as Vix has also missed the fact that my previous blog was a repeat, an idea I borrowed from the BBC, I would like to just apologise for those of you who thought they had a few weeks more to do their Christmas shopping. Sadly, you don’t.

Is anyone actually excited about the coming religious festival.? I mean, when I was a kid I was happy. I was awed by the idea of presents and family and food (well let’s face it, I was a child and I wanted knew toys and things). But nowadays I no longer feel the same anticipation, the excitement that used to make me wake up at 3am on Christmas day and be unable to sleep from then until bed time.

I do miss that feeling, the same as I miss many different past emotions. Maybe I am too old and the excitement has gone now. Admittedly I now get far more enjoyment from watching Lemony or my family opening their presents than I usually do opening mine, but is that a selfish thought as well, getting joy from your own devices.

But what other emotions have we lost in our lives.? What other feelings that you once had do you no longer have the chance to feel…

I have been looking at various photos of trains from the fotopic.net website and it made me miss standing on the end of Worle or Temple Meads platforms on pleasant summer’s days watching the rolling stock idle by.

I miss that first cigarette when I didn’t smoke very much and had less money. The smell of a new packet of ten cigarettes.

The feeling of a spring day when you are on holidays from college or school and you have literally nothing to do for a few weeks.

I could go on but it is almost time to go to bed. So with a large pruple bunny (the fluffy sort not the battery powered version) I shall bid you adieu, to yieu and yieu.
