Thank you for the good wishes, which I reciprocate.
However, at my age, being stronger next year is impossible. Can I exchange greater strength for just, well, being here?
Obviously, this time of year brings all sorts of fantasies out into the open, but I must reassure Slobodan that my marina walk today didn't reignite the old boat lust. Seeing those millions of bucks up on the hard, all needing attention and costing money even whilst doing nothing more than waiting there just to cost a lot more, wouldn't float my boat (sorry) however much dough I won somewhere.
Saw an episode of Top Gear recently featuring the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and that did turn me on more than somewhat. Much smaller than the Mustang I quite fancied, and probably parkable in an ordinary space.
