....a little time

....unusually i find myself with 5 minutes on a morning. in part because i woke up early and in another part that i'm dropping luke off at school at 8.30 so not rushing about to get to work early.

the warming weather and the lighter nights are raising spirits and bringing on thoughts of "outdoorness"; camping trips, walks, runs, cycling, rivers, sea, parks... you know the stuff. this though is juxtaposed against my impending hernia operation which will deny me such things for a month at least right at the time when i'd be getting into it all.... but... i have been training for a marathon (sunderland in less than 2 weeks) so am feeling quite fit and weathered to be fair.

may/june will come and go - i will be recovered and will be left with lots of the summer ...and no hernia! excellent!

i feel some planning may be in order for my sabbatical. a pile of books, some new music to indulge in, and maybe a box set or a movie or two..... or....i could just sleep.....
