Pledge of the week. Finish painting the 0200 Hours miniatures.

Getting old sucks. I’m trying to get another sick note (sorry… they call them fit notes now in UK) as this Achilles thing is lingering. I’m find in the house, but if I go for a walk to do some essential shopping the pain kicks in by the time I get back and that’s only a mile round trip.

At work I walk an average of 10-12 miles a day carrying 10 to 15 kilos and when I’m not walking, I’m standing so thats 4 hours walking and the other 4 standing. And that’s not including the walk to work and rest of the days activities.

I’m trying to deal with it doing the exercises, but two weeks and it’s not fixed yet.

And then there are the floaters in my eyes. Bloody annoying when I’m trying to read, or paint. Old age is not kind to vision.

But I’m doing my best to deal with it. Some days are better than others.

Sorry about the whining… but you did ask @sundancer
