Self pity has now dispersed to be replaced by humility. I'm such a grouchy old bag sometimes, usually when something doesn't go my way and I've got too much time on my hands and nothing to fill it with.

I have formulated a plan of action, suggested by the lovely Dynamo. I am going to take up scuba diving!

It's perfect. Fit handsome wealthy young men in trunks. All I have to do is manage to squeeze myself into a size 8 wet suit and then hope that I don't use all the oxygen up just managing to breath before I even get into the water.

I'm sure to be a veritable mermaid. I just hope I don't get mistaken for a whale and harpooned on my maiden dive.
