Thankfully, Jackie and I are rarely parted except by the demands of our work. Today, we spent a wonderful day together in the garden and there is nothing better: being with Jackie, lung-fulls of fresh air, a bit of light exercise, close to nature, recycling compost, growing pretty flowers, growing our own fruit and vegetables ... all very relaxing and therapeutic.

Refreshed and revitalised, I determined to finish the PTC report for circulation tomorrow and I again worked into the wee small hours to make sure the paper was ready. Though I often suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” I can usually rely on sheer dogged obstinacy to pull me through.
