I am starting the year on a low. I have had a few problems over the Christmas break, mostly with my back and so I have not been able to do much.\u00a0 I am still waiting for news about my\u00a0 flat which I have been trying to sell which seems to have run into quite a few obstacles along the way so I am still in a state of limbo basically which seems to be no nearer to resolving. This has really sapped my energy to a great extent now to the point today that I really felt no urge whatsoever to get out of bed.\u00a0 I haven’t felt that bad for a long time.However I do have to get outside and get on the bus today so off we go. Fortunately my back has\u00a0 survived the trip and I have not ground to a complete halt.
\nJanuary is a miserable time of year though. Its dull and its wet and its generally a bit shite.
\nI was born in January so its OK for me to say that though.
