Good news, spring is threatening.

Bad news, I’m going to spend it in a blue bubble.

There have been a couple of beautiful days this week. I’m considering taking my hiking boots of for the year. But my usual pleasure at watching Stevenage burst into spring from eight floors up is diminished by the scaffolding and blue stuff I’m encased in.

Then there’s the drilling.

I had a note through my letter box, telling me that the drilling will only take a day and would be carried out on Tuesday 2 March. I took all ornaments off window sills and pictures off externals walls and went out for the day.

Some winter sunshine today. The first sun I remember since October.

This is my least favourite time of year. Christmas is gone, and now a couple of months until spring and warmth returns.

This year will be quite eventful. A general election due around about April. Then I’m off to South Africa in the summer. It’ll be winter there then. But I avoid the sun anyway, so it’ll be no great loss to me.

And I am launching a new blog this year. I start work on Monday. That’ll keep me occupied until South Africa.

A full six-months planned, but the money situation is still not so good. The South African trip will blow a hole in my finances. Which will be good motivation to get out into the world again. I really need to get off of my backside and into action.

A song to accompany the new blog. This sums it up best I think

“Can you see what it is yet?”

“Time is driftin’, this rock has got to roll…”

A funky number from the 70s. A track from my teens which set me on the road to rock and roll. I love the vocals. But the sentiments seem a little dated now.

I would like to dedicate this to ageing hippies everywhere and those good folk at Virgin Media.

I have every expectation of being on the phone to you again soon.
