The new year has brought with it aches and pains galore. I started the year with a grumpy drive behind a tractor and a walk from Benone to Magilligan. The combination of driving and walking gave me a very sore bottom. No laughing there! It was a deep muscle ache which I treated with a muscle rub cream. It got better just in time for me to get a throat infection. So, I have been off work since Tuesday. Actually, I went in to work on Tuesday but only for an hour. I felt feverish and realised that I really should be at home. And I like to moan about how unwell I feel. The throat pain has eased now and I am feeling very fatigued.

Before I became the most hopeless person I know I had quite a productive start to the year. At the weekend we backed up all our photographs to discs. Now I do not need to freak out about if something happened to my external hard drive which was where I stored all of my pictures. I did other stuff but cannot remember what it was, but it was all good!
