Happy New Year to my readers.
The only resolution I have made this year* is to simply get on with stuff. Most mornings I start by going through my brain training puzzle on-line puzzle games over a cup of coffee and a bread roll, followed by an hour or so helping the Memsahib at the stables.
I have determined that when coming home from the stables I will vacuum one room of our house and clear the washing-up. Then I am free to play.
The next hour, regulated by a timer, is spent on my digital game of “Axis and Allies Global 1939”, which is no way related to my project some years ago of replaying the whole Second World war in 6mm. This one is purely run on an Excel workbook. I am hoping that my PC will not fail me on this one.
Yesterday I ran a recommended “driver update” programme, which resulted in a three hour restoration of the pre-repair status.
Today I have performed my household tasks and done my ironing while watching the DVD extras of the film “A Night To Remember” about the loss of the Titanic.
*I have one resolution: to live on 1943 rations for lent 2023. For each day I succeed I will donate £1 to the Prostate Cancer charity. To my male readers of a certain age, I do urge you to get yourselves regularly checked. Prostate Cancer is a killer. I was saved – just in time – by the British National Health Service.
