Although reasonably mild for he time of year, it's still too cold for me. I don't think I was ever intended to live in this country! I reviewed the back garden, from the relative safety of the bedroom window, and decided the weeds can just do their worst, no way am I getting out there yet! And of course, from one storey up, you can't see how much they've grown since November!

I am trying to get back to the Doc about my arm, but I'm having to wait over 2 weeks for an appointment! Until then, I'll just have to live with limited movement, and pain. Rod is healing really well, his op seems to have worked, and he was on good form last night, which was great.

We talked of retirement. I enjoy my job (although NOT the commute), and I don't have a retirement plan. I don't know what I want to do, or where, other than not wanting to be in this cold country. I'm not sure how beneficial a plan would be, I've ended up unmarried and unloved at 51, and I am wary of making plans now. Other than holidays of course. My trips have been my salvation. I've been chatting to Michael in Bangkok, and it seems increasingly likely that I'll do 7-10 days there in November, meeting up with Nix n Tiff of course.

I'm about to mini-gym and this afternoon, I'll be flogging my wares on Ebay. And scoping a few things out ;)
