Things I’m not thinking about December 30, 2012

Last year I did a post of my resolutions for 2012. I don’t think I’ll do that this year. Things seem different. This time last year I was about to start a beautiful month of holidays including 10 days in Tasmania which were wonderful. This year I’m going back to work on Wednesday. Last year […]

operation recuperation September 2, 2010

Well here we are in the second week of Operation Recuperation. For those of you who are unaware I have had an operation that removed a “whopping great thing”…in doctor’s terms that is a cyst that from the evidence on the scales weighed between two and three kilos. I am four kilos lighter than when […]

If I can lift my arms tomorrow it will be a minor […]
