the social season

As you can imagine, the last 12 months has not seen my social calendar bursting at the seams.  Having spent most of my time in hospital I have missed Christmas, New Year and all family birthdays and other events over the last year.

But I am now home from hospital and although not the most mobile person in the world I am able to get out and about.

Last Saturday saw a very close friend's 50th birthday celebrations and it was a relief to get out of the house and enjoy myself rather than just going to hospital appointments.  I think it was a boost for my long suffering wife as well.

I now have a lunch to look forward to with my former work colleagues at the end of this month, along with a family celebration for our 15th wedding anniversary the following week.

Slowly and surely things are returning to normal.
