valerieathome: Friday 14th March

I was late going to the hospital this morning, As I told Chaplain Bill, I just didn't seem able to get myself out of bed this morning.   He thought it was the clocks going forward, it does seem to affect us more than we think, or more than I ever thought.

I haven't been water walking lately, with the arctic weather we have had in recent weeks it has been much too cold to think about it. I think I will cancel my YMCA subscription and exercise on the Senior Centre's new exercise equipment.   I was there this afternoon, I went to hang out with Louise for a little while, and while there I tentatively tried it. I think all the homeless couch potatoes have moved on to pastures new, they are not exercising.    I said I will be back on Monday morning to exercise in earnest.

As I indicated the other day I have been avidly following the mystery of the disappearing aircraft.    With all the interviews with the dozens of experts who have been on television, holding forth on what could, might, possibly, or not possibly have happened to the aircraft I know a great deal more about aviation than I ever did, including all that goes on in the cockpit.     There is a great deal of aggravation with the Malaysians because they are not keen on sharing information, they are not used to doing so, and there is a big cultural issue on saving face.

Tonight they seem fairly certain that someone continued to fly the aircraft for 4-5 hours after it lost contact.   Sky piracy (that's a new word, or two words I'd never heard of) seems to be the current theory, and it looks at the moment that they expect to find some wreckage in the Indian Ocean, where they are searching at the moment.

The weather has been quite nice.    This is what it is currently -
