As to what I would rather be doing now? I wish I knew.

I would hesitate a guess at not being at work at all  noooo:

I have never had a career plan. I have always done whatever seemed interesting at the time. That has taken me to University ( a lot and in penury), Mexico (Because it was there), Casablanca (very briefly  noooo:), lecturing, and then, by accident, into what I appear to do nowadays. I don't think I will change course again now. I will just sort of subside gently into the ground in a few years

Well no, not really. I'd like to be doing something. The question is what?


Today I'd like to have been at Cheltenham for the Gold Cup.

I wasn't sure whether to go for that or Exotic Dancer, I went (probably foolishly!) for the latter.

Ahhh the big dream would have been show jumping or three day eventing but that was beyond my Dad's financial wishes.
