May I start by saying that I wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas.
It has been both a happy day, full of cheer, happinesss, laughter and the delightful Aurora. But, also as he same time tinged with a hint of sadness. I feel immensely frustrated that I have not been able to help Elayne at all. She has been an absolute stalwart. For that and other reasons, I feel that I have let her down.
We must look forward to the New Year, and get over this lump. The first two and a bit weeks of my retirement, have not been memorable. At one point even Elayne was saying “Go back to work”. I don’t want that.
I want to get over this wretched illness and to be able to look to start doing what I want. That may sound selfish, I suppose it is, but there you go.
