Getting old

After yesterday's long walk around Stanley Park, my knees are very sore, and my right-hand shin is hurting. It is apparently a result of being old - according to both Paul and Sonia. However in Sonia's more lucid moments she does concede that it's more likely just that I am very unfit.

This morning Sonia was suffering from jetlag, and slept late after being awake from 2am until 6am. I might point out that this disturbed my sleep - unreasonable expectations on Sonia's part that I would actually be interested in her insomnia at 2 in the morning!

Just been looking through some of the photos we've taken over the past few days (as usual, not many). The one here is a dedication plaque on a bench in Stanley Park. As we walked around we looked at them and wondered who the people were. Some were touching, some were boring, and this one? Well.......




And here's a raccoon that we came across - or did he come across us? We were walking in opposite directions along the path. When he finally realised that we were coming his way, he stopped dead with one paw in the air - as you see in the photo. Maybe he was entranced by the sight of two kiwis?

On a totally unrelated matter - just got a text message from Paul saying that he's accepted a job - three months contract.
