End of April

 It's still chilly — lots of reasons given including high pressure in the wrong place, northerly winds, etc and of course climate change. 

Have started with the PT — that stands for personal trainer. Aim is to be able to sit on the floor and to get up in an elegant manner and also just walk up and down stairs without having to hold on to the rail. What an achievement that would be. 

Renewing passport as a new law came in where if your passport is valid for more than 10 years you will be rejected when trying to go to Europe - mine is so that's a job to do.

I don't feel that I have enough to do and as the children all get older they need me less too. I mean the grandchildren as the children havent needed me for years really except perhaps for a bit of £. Helen got me to do a bit of research for the local woman who is standing for the Labour Party and in doing so I trawled through information for little villages in the area. Most have a population of around 200 of which over half are 55 and above. Couldn't find any data on second homers but that would be interesting.
