It wasn't easy and I did have a hard couple of months but am getting over that... just want to get back to work now (if I can!). Am using the time off well though, my garden was a jungle before and now is looking reasonable (as much as it can with a non-gardener like me looking after it) and am making a little headway on sorting out the junk in my house - both of which I'd neglected as I didn't really have the energy or the inclination to do those when I was working.I've actually seen quite a few birds in the garden for most of the day, including a visit from a couple of the local Magpies - really like those, they're gorgeous birds and very wrongly disliked by the general populace - am glad to see them in the garden. I noticed that they're quite big too, bigger than I realised they were (don't usually get to see them up close to tell!).</blockquote>
