In the second week of the month I have a committee meeting prepare for and run and in the final week of the month I'm running an IT Workshop and an Ethics and Moral Dilemmas debating group. I'm thinking of starting a <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/4767" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Creative Writing Group</a> once I've completed the sessions I'm attending. I also manage the <a href="http://www.westwoldsu3a.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> and with nearly 50 groups it can take some time to make sure it's up to date particularly when people change details but fail to tell me and then are surprised when the website it out of date.

Since the beginning of January I've been dating a new friend. We go to the cinema, walking, visit places of interest, eat out quite a lot and cook together. All of this is great fun. We're approaching it as an adventure; we don't know where it will take us - we're enjoying the journey. For the time being her name and photograph remain under wraps however my nearest and dearest will hopefully get to meet her over the next weeks and months. Strong friendships take time to build and it is still early days.
