In the main, I *am* living the dream. I just don't have enough time any mor=
e. Not even for the stuff I want to do, but for the stuff I need to do.

I need to be fitting a bathroom, fitting doors, fitting a cloakroom, cleari=
ng a garage. Fitting 4x new pads & discs to my car, fitting 2x new pads & d=
iscs to my wife's car. Teaching my daughter to drive.

Instead, I'm sitting, exhausted, watching TV guiltily, thinking of the othe=
r stuff I need to do.

Never mind though. I'll be spring soon, and might start warming up.

Mustn't grumble though. Got 4 walls and a roof, 3 square a day, and a job. =
I'm super fortunate that as I work from home, COVID hasn't affected me grea=
tly (other than various lockdowns putting a crimp on DIY purchases). I live=
 in a rural area, and can go for walks in the open and fresh air (except wh=
en they're muck spreading).

Stay safe everyone!

Pete.
