					<description><![CDATA[&#160; I started off the last entry saying I was waking up not knowing what month of the year I was in; the weather was too mild, then cold etc. etc. Since returning home from House Sitting this Tuesday I&#8217;ve been waking up not knowing where I am; in 22 days I&#8217;d slept in three [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Waking up in the morning nowadays is a problem; with the ever changing light you don&#8217;t know what time it is and upon getting out of bed and feeling the temperature, you don&#8217;t know what Month you&#8217;re in !! Planning any days out for bird watching or otherwise is pot luck, it can [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; My first entry of 2016, somewhat late I agree and no real good enough excuse for it ! So, happy new year and may it be a good one. Since my last post in December much has been happening with very few days spent at home. Christmas was spent as usual in Southampton, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; (all photos are now thumbnails &#8211; click for full size) Things are all pretty much quiet down the Lane, not working and having family close at hand means none of the what was normal Christmas Parties etc. However, next Wednesday someone is taking me out for a meal, so that will be nice.

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; For those who visit the Diary page on a regular basis, you will have noted I haven&#8217;t made an entry since September. Apologies. Three years ago I had the Cricket job, oddjobbing, house sitting and more, now it&#8217;s just house sitting so in other words it&#8217;s been difficult to write something you&#8217;ve not [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; A Frugal Purchase ?? I&#8217;ve loved camping in the past but have to admit of late, the bones and other somewhat essential parts of my body have indicated that changes need to be made! In June I ventured up to Scotland for 11 days, loved it, but because of where I wanted to [&#8230;]]]></description>

So, with a few changes, it is now back to normal, the exception being on Mobile Phones and some Tablets. A trip to Scotland With no [&#8230;]]]></description>

The last two weeks since have been where I&#8217;ve woken up from that! Socially I&#8217;ve been back to Southampton for a further six days spending good time with family and generally milling [&#8230;]]]></description>

From having a virtually empty Diary I&#8217;ve gone into the mode of non stop tooing and froing with a diversity of activities! A bit of Work I&#8217;m forever saying I&#8217;m not going to do any more work and [&#8230;]]]></description>
