But hey, let's not be too hard, that's not what I logged on for today, today I wanted to write about my ambiguous feelings with regard to living here.
I am about to commence my third year on the island and while I have spent most of the last two years moaning about it to anyone who showed the slightest interest I now find myself quite enjoying the lifestyle.
It goes without saying that we have pretty much decided to do this year and then make other plans which any clown will tell you has probably made me more inclined to enjoy myself but I've also taken to swimming in the sea, swimming in the pool and generally making more of an effort.
But I feel rather moody and not inconsiderably irritable. Did I mention that I've given up smoking and last month started my 40th year?
So to summarise (in a triumphant and rousing end to my 100th Blog) I feel a bit queer but I don't know whether it's attributable to
- Being middle aged.
- Giving up smoking.
- The prospect of leaving my home of the last two years and heading back into a maelstrom of family and friends and a failed career.
- Being generally inclined to depression and confusion about life.
Now that's what I call an uplifting dismount. I can almost hear the soaring strings.
