We have had a couple of cold but sunny days, ideal for walking. Unfortunately I have not been able to make the most of them due to my back troubling me. Still it is great to see the sun after so many drab days, the sun’s warming rays are a real treat for me.

I have been fortunate in being able to meet up with several friends either for lunch or coffee, it is good to keep active both mentally and physically. However yesterday was not good for either, I just felt lousy, even my ability to put pencil to paper and either write or sketch was missing; so I am pleased to be able to record this today.
