na' then....

 I did, once upon a time, suggest i might be back sporadically..... and i will try to stay true to my word.

Problem with trying to keep up a blog is just time.....

The part-time, temporary job i've taken is quite.... demanding.  Basically stand at a desk all day...... put something from one bag into another bag..... and don't you dare even look at your mobile phones!  It feels a bit Dickensian in fairness..... right down to the fact that the longer serving employees have been barracked for suggesting a heater on the desk might make their day slightly more palatable.

But, for me, it's an opportunity to do many things that needed doing....

Get out of the house, tick!

Drive the popemobile, tick!

Talk to someone who isn't a medical professional or doesn't work for the department of work and pensions, check!

Push the leg to the limits a little and see if it makes or breaks it, tick!

So, all in all, it's a useful experience..... my leg is slowly, very slowly beginning to feel more "normal" (it's a low bar), and i guess there's a silver lining in that, given the minimum wage, i'm even getting paid to do those tasks......  I've even bought a few dog treats with my staff discount.

I'm still alive..... quite busy...... neglectful of blogging, but always here in spirit if not physically pushing buttons.

Onwards and ...... onwards!

Here's a little photo from a bonfire that Dawn made for the kids, at the start of the month.....
