A snowy day in Sheffield Town

Was supposed to meet Natasha for lunch, she is staying with friends in Doncaster and would have come on the train to Sheffield.We decided to cancel because of the snow, she didn't want me stranded when there was no one at home to rescue me.
Michael rang from Turkey, he is fine and in Antalya staying at the 'Titanic Hotel', he has stayed there before, says there are a number of football teams staying there from Eastern Europe for a winter break.
Have lost track of S&S due to time differences, not sure if they land in Brisbane Frid or Sat morning, then Sameer starts his new job on Monday in Brisbane and Sandra feels she will be working full time at the jewellers shop in Toowoomba so they will be apart for the next 6 mths more or less as they have to keep an address in Towoomba for that long to qualify for their permenant residency visa. We just want them to be settled in a home and to enjoy their lives.Other than spending time with Fuad and Mary Sue America was a disaster for them.
Fuad sent me a parcel from America with cards and gifts in on Dec12th and it still hasn't arrived, it is probably in a big black hole, somewhere out there?
Have had a quiet day, spoke to Muneer who is still ill with the flu, naomi is on the mend but up to her neck with Geography coursework. Sheila rang they are coming over to stay next Tuesday as they have an appt at the opticians, it will be nice to have some company.
Had a very long phone call with Natasha, she is back in York, I may get to see her on Monday.
Am off to fill my hotwater bottles then to bed.
Apparently Oman is the place to go now as Dubai is turning into Las Vegas and the best time to exercise is between 3pm and 8pm as your joints are at their best, your body is warmed up and you are at your best mentally???
Night all

I can't believe you don't have the Xmas package yet. You should get it sometime. I will have to check with Jim and Peggy as I sent them one a couple of days earlier.
