Well, the weather has turned, and how! The temperature has risen, the wind has got up and the rain - well, it's making up for lost time. No more ice. Welcome back to mud, glorious mud. Watching the river is fascinating. The flow has picked up enormously and it's racing down, a torrent of muddy brown water from the hills.

Another visit from the physio yesterday. We've reached the painful conclusion that I need to do some serious work on my flexibility - so I have a long list of exercises to work on. It'll be good to see some results though.
