Meanwhile, five months later...

OK, so what's the excuse this time? Nothing really, just the usual laziness and depression. As well as struggling to remember a simple password for this account, I'm struggling to think if I've done anything worth mentioning in the intervening five months since I last graced this blog with my presence. Let's see...

• I had some more golf lessons
• I had my photograph taken with the Ryder Cup
• I watched my team throw away the SPL for the third year in succession to a mob who wouldn't know good football if it ran out of the stands and assaulted it on live TV
• I attended a few concerts
• I played in a concert
• I took my annual holiday in Llandudno, as usual, but dispensed with a number of traditions along the way
• I saw a number of birds I'd not seen before
• I bought a laptop
• I came to the conclusion that the current incarnation of Doctor Who is the best one yet
• I saw the future, and it will be characterised by infirmity
• I started to realise that I may never be allowed to retire

OK, I didn't burn a lot of calories in the course of these momentous events, but I feel that I am on the threshold of something.

Exactly.
