Spanish weather withdrawal symptoms

At least today was a bit more stimulating than 13th. Met a friend for lunch - she lost her partner a year ago. I should stop moaning and think myelf lucky. Just realised my workday has extended since I came back to England. Now that is sad!
I hate this time of year - really need a 'hot' holiday. I neeeeeeed some sun, now. Am having withdrawal symptoms. It will be at least another 5 months before I get to wear only one pair of socks and no vest. Visualise that - eh!
I'm bored. Need something challenging for the old brain (what remains of it). Intelligent conversation and stretching my capabilities would be a start.
Told myself at the beginning of the year that I would not let myself deteriorate - easy to do if spending time on ones own. Am succeeding so far but without commentators it's difficult to know if I'm just kidding myself.
Just heard the discussion on 'Green Shoots' political of course. What a load of old tosh. Listen to Gardeners World and they are using the same phrase. Prefer the gardeners anytime.
Work tomorrow - another audit - there are only three we could possibly have and would you believe that they have all been requested in the last three months. So far, so good.
Time to retreat and attack a few more pages of Rushdi's Midnight Children. Not sure if that will go on my favourites list
