Well, I managed to get to the 'archive' this morning, although I can't remember what I've posted and what I've left out.

I must stop wandering about on the beach on cold nights when alcohol has lowered my body temperature. It makes one extremely vulnerable to every type of passing virus especially when one is no longer in the flush of youth. Waking up at dawn face down on wet sand in a torn tee shirt is perfectly acceptable for a sixteen year old, but I can't do it anymore even  in the summer without suffering for days. Anyway, onwards and upwards....c'est le groove.
