Before I get down to the business in hand, I crave your indulgence. Picture the following scene:
It was freezing under foot and barely daylight as I staggered out clad only in my pyjamas and dressing gown with the rubbish for the bin-men. Theoretically, 7.30am is the deadline set by my local council, though it’s unusual for it to be collected before noon! My next-door neighbour, just setting off to her work, could not resist saying how lucky I was, having nothing to stop me going straight back to bed.
Lucky? I don’t think so! As year follows year, I get more and more frustrated at having nothing to do, especially during the winter months. The everyday tasks of shopping, cooking and cleaning are hardly exciting – and that’s what one needs, excitement. Bungee-jumping is not to be recommended for the octogenarian digestion, my trip in a hot-air balloon was interesting but not exciting, and there’s not a lot of white water rafting in the canyons of Kent.
Of course, my little boat keeps me occupied much of the time. But even sailing can fail to provide any real excitement -- especially when one is forbidden by one’s children to venture much beyond the end of the pier.
