Where were we?
Life is too short for what my friend David calls 'war stories' or others call 'organ recitals'. All you need to know is that I am now living, aged 75, in Cumbria.
I am in precarious health. I live with my younger daughter Elly, her husband Jim and their three sons Harry aged 13, Zac aged 11 and Olly aged 7.
Every day I do similar things: I get up and
either get dressed or stay in my pyjamas. I am well or unwell. I often write to
the papers - the TLS, the Times or the Telegraph. I remember things. I write
emails to friends (not many - friends I mean). A blog will help me reflect on
the way I spend my time. I watch TV on my iPad or MacBook Air, also Netflix series such as
‘Suits’ and ‘White Collar’.
