General reflections… before we start (but they’re bound to evolve differently!):


I’m fine in my own company, but am also very aware how important meeting up with family and friends on a regular basis. I somewhat glibly say that I’ll be able to cope without too much difficulty, but the reality might prove very different. Despite my deteriorating left hip, Moira and I are determined to get out and walk every day (until the government decides otherwise?). Similarly, I want to try to sketch in the open air on a very regular basis (no doubt also sketching from within the house or gazing out of windows)(no Old Vics, Watersheds etc for the foreseeable future!). The pattern of our days will probably be established very early on: chatting over coffee and lunch… as well as walking together and, for me, sketching (no classes, groups or committees!). I suppose we could also book a car club slot and drink to the coast for a walk? There’ll be reading, of course, and perhaps opportunities to read some ‘faith’ books in an effort to get myself out of my current spiritual wilderness? Drawing projects? Preparing mounts for the next Arts Trail (whenever that will be)? Catch up/re-watch on our various DVDs (and maybe even consider a Netfix subscription?)? Box sets (I started watching ‘MadMen’ ages ago… perhaps now’s to time to try again?)? Compile lots of music playlists? More cooking perhaps? Going through all our books and having a bit of a cull?
The list goes on… and on.
