Loafin. Pure and simple

Hello all (if anyone still reads this!). I know it has been two months, but I have had a fair bit on. Very hectic at work, ensuring everything was in order in time for summer leave, which i am now on. yes - 4 weeks off of work, with NOTHING to do. My better half is still working, precluding a sunny vacation, so I sit at home, keep the dog amused and play alot of XBox (just purchased Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - all good so far!).

I have also had a visit from Mort, my brahim, and have had my tricky shoulder operated on. I kept dislocating it, so I have been under the knife, keyhole stylee and had it stabilised. There now follows 5 weeks of physio to regain movement and strength.

Other things on my mind, are my car. I own a Mk3 Golf GTi, one of the most overtly sporty cars I have owned. Now right now I cant drive (the shoulder), but it just isnt quite the hot hatch I was always led to beleive. A little lacking in power. May need to spice it up a bit, but not too MAX POWER...

My new job is running well - I am responsible for the reformation of a prestigious unit returning to my regiment. All goes well so far, including trying to dig into their history a little more. The World Wide Web is not the info oracle it once was, at least not when i want it to be...ebay continues to provide many unexpected finds of useful (?) things and will continue to be a financial burden.

Well, that's it for now - stay safe y'all!
