Still Day #1...

I must have walked about ten miles today. It was good to be out and about. I feel mildly absent minded today but I DID get a fair bit done. It is still early in the opening of the game but I have a few things planned for the next few days. I certainly want to start eating better - I cannot stand subsisting on processed foods; another bad habit that I got into during the past couple of years. I got some decent food for later so hopefully I can start as I mean to go on.

The weather here today has been very odd - misty and sunny by turns with a pretty strong wind; predominately from the North. I don't know if I can do it but I'm going to try and erect a wire antenna this evening. Nothing fancy just a bit of wire to drag in some signals. I miss listening to the radio - REAL radio that is. That will be resolved in the next few days I hope. I would urge anyone that has even the mildest predilection to anything geeky to check out the wonderful world of ham radio - it's great fun.

My Mother is in hospital at the moment recovering from her FIFTH stroke. Most folks are lucky to survive just one but my Ma is a tough old stick and I think that she is doing good. I managed to make her laugh a lot which is always a great pleasure for me. I want her to enjoy a few days in the sun. Maybe this year we'll get a good summer. Goodness knows it has been a while since we had one.

Right ho! Off to put in 15 minutes Morse Code practice.
