Five things

Being far from your kids
This sucks donkey balls and just gets worse. I was thinking about Kate today. I really miss her. I miss David too.
Emigrating
It's a hard thing to do but I think it can be the right thing. Losing touch with people and places can be hard but the new stuff can compensate. I'll be honest, I think Canada is a vastly better place to live than England so I'm profoundly glad I came here. I kind of wish my dad had gone to New Zealand in the 60's when he had the opportunity.
Being car free
There are minor drawbacks but honestly spending $8000 per year on something I hardly used was not very sensible. Autoshare is really good and so I don't really miss not having a car of my own.
Cats
The one on my desk right now says "yes". Infuriating, destructive, cunning little predators. I love them.
This year's 6 Nations.
Rubbish really. Two teams are complete crap; Scotland and Italy. England might not be crap if they picked players who hadn't had lobotomies. France, Wales and ireland are just inconsistent. A few games; Wales v. France, Wales v. England haven't been too bad but some of the others have been awful. Ireland v. England was just an appalling waste of time.
I'm also unimpressed with the refereeing. Some of the refs seem to be reffing to a script rather then the game they are actually seeing. Wales got away with stuff against France that italy or England would have had players binned for.
