Two things that brought a smile to my face today (they are sad really because they reflect times each in a different way)
Walking past a pub with a sign still up 'Christmas Roast dinners available everyday"
Two young girls 4-6ish playing in a garden one says to the other
" It's my birthday tomorrow but nobody is going to by me nothing"

Just sold a pair of ski boots on the Bay....not like I'm going to need them 
Watching some folks golfing today (allowed up here) cheered me up, not sure why. Feeling the shoulders troubles have relented sufficient to let me swing a club again - the test is swishing a walking pole around when I take the dog out to the beach. Going to find some clubs shortly after a 3 year break which is a lift.
All the snow and ice is gone (at low levels) and it's quite a nice day for it to be fair. Next 5 days looking dry....yay.

Earlier in the week, whilst there was still snow on the ground, we made our way to one of our favourite viewing spots... It allows us to look south, over the Boro', towards an eerily inactive Heathrow... The best bit of the view is that it is high enough to look down on the red kites strutting their 'stuff'... These magnificent creatures looking even better with the white backdrop of snow... Contents of the hip flask also helping with it being a delightful walk... Though that may have contributed to ending up on my backside on more than one occasion...

Managed the first cut of the lawn. Remarkably dry although the weather will deteriorate later in the week. Always feel better after first cut as summer is on the way, lighter evenings and much warmer for when I play golf.
Yes there is one comment on there that is not quite right!

Set myself a target of running 100 miles from Xmas Eve to January 31st. Needed 10.2m smashed 10.5 miles yesterday.
At 15st 13lbs I'm hoping that will gladden the heart eventually.

It's a long time ago but I am reminded daily by radio ads for misselling claims.
I very nearly got a job with MI Group Finance services back in the late 1990s. I had an interview and would have taken the job if offered - loads of money promised - but a buddy of mine at my golf club told me to avoid the sort of work it entailed as it just wasn't me.
At the time I didn't really know what he meant - but I do now - as the MI Group has been subject of massive insurance product misselling... Sandy was right - it just wasn't me. And goodness knows where I'd be, and who I'd be, today if I'd gone down that road.
It pays to listen to your best mates...I am very grateful. Sandy has since left us - I do miss him.

After all my good work, last year, disposing of 30+ Kgs and getting my 'numbers' moving in the right direction I now feel able to indulge in an occasional treat... Having recently discovered passionfruit curd I find a dollop [of said treat] stirred into my porridge more than amenable ...

Liquidize a sprout and stir that in.

Doing a Vegas radio show last night talking about the Super Bowl and they were so impressed, they have offered me a regular spot on the show.

Whilst I do like a sprout and I am now a 'veggie' at least three days a week...
I think, on this occasion, I'll pass on your kindly offered suggestion

It's Thursday and I'm about to finish my final conference call of the day - and for the first time (ever) it's the final meeting of my working week
And in that context I don't care that it is raining and I can't play golf.
