Its been awhile

Its been a few months since I last posted. Not a lot has happened in my life. A few back issues, gym work, normal work etc etc. You know life! Looking forward I see a future that is not much changed from what it has been for the last 15 - 16 years. Life with my beautiful partner, get time with my grown up step kids. Make up for lost time when it comes to music (got a few booked already this year with Download, Hammerfest and Hard Rock Hell). Just basically enjoy life to the full, well within financial means anyway. I see a slimmer me, been going to the gym again since the osteopath sorted out my back and now got a new membership with Virgin Active. I reckon 3 times a week, mostly cardio workouts to bring my weight down. Not one of those that wants to look like Arnie, lol. My ideal weight(not Shirls) is about 14 stone. I reckon if I can get to that then I should look a lot better and feel a lot better. My hill walking is going to be limited this year, Ben Nevis is going to be off the calendar for at least a year so that I can strengthen my back. May manage a few of the smaller Lake District hills though. I may even get Shirl to come with me, she can visit the local villages whilst I walk up the hills. She's not one for hill walking. Scenery is awesome up there though. Hoping to be able to save up sufficient to get myself a new telephoto lense for my camera this year, can't wait for that, get some decent wildlife pics to put on here then. Its a bit snowy outside at the moment, not enough for my liking but its a start. Lets see if those weathermen can get it right this time. I shall make a new year resolution to post in here more this year, that would be good.
