Flu-ridden uninspired old shit

At the risk of sounding repetitive, that's another year gone in record time! Life is short, only young people don't understand it yet. Have been feeling quite ill since about Xmas day, have the flu, with lung infection and a bad back too. Though, am I one to grumble? You had better believe it.

I like December, the month started in usual fashion, then we went to Germany for a few days, as one does. Feeling uninspired as I write this as my temperature is quite high, was working today and yesterday as only supervisor, otherwise I would have called in sick. Just back from the Auld Hoose, still early evening, but I'm just not in the mood, no way am I staying there until midnight, also that fat layabout Rob was been especially dive-like today and I just cannot stand it.

Germany was good, though the visit was short, far too much Glühwein, beer and whisky was drunk, though I knew that would happen before I boarded the plane. Have vague memories of "Bomben auf England" being sung in central Heidelberg, and meeting a couple of nice people in Stuttgart the one night we were there.

No runs this month, am a real lazy shit, things will have to change, even the 170000 steps were below the 200000 target. Thanks to my sister Kath and John for helping with the moving of lots of stuff from one Kinghorn flat to another. Oh, and the ivy problem has been slightly addressed, I called the council about it touching the flat, they have now cut a lot of it back. No action in the last few days, I hope they come again in the new year to finish the job.

Have a good new year dear reader  :-)   Here a few photos taken this month...
