Having been home for a couple of days, I've had time to reflect on our Golden Wedding Tour of New York and New England and have begun to realise (probably, for the first time) that advancing years are beginning to have an effect; if not (yet) upon the state of my mind, then, almost certainly upon my physical condition.
Now, I recognise there are factors which may have exacerbated the situation (jet-travel, different water, cuisine, time zones and weather conditions, for example). Furthermore, there are some irritations which can strike at any age; like these insect bites which I may have received during our last walk around Lloyd's garden.
Unfortunately, however, the fact of the matter is that I've rarely experienced so many minor complaints within such a short period of time - and the conclusion I have drawn from these somewhat aggravating circumstances is that my body may not be as robust as it was - and (more importantly) as I imagine it actually is. Perhaps, I should think about spending a little less time with my laptop and getting a little more exercise.
There may be occasions, however, when that might be more easily said than done......
