I find that during this period on unemployment I have an excellent opportunity to catch up on things.
The first thing that I discovered was that with time on my hands I had the time to have a mid-life crisis.
This involves doing all the things that you always wanted to do AND buying a motorbike.
Im watching ebay for the bike at the moment, but as soon as the right one comes along at the right price I can get on with that part of my crisis.
Meanwhile I have been fishing which I'm not very good at. I have been fletching (for those of you without a dictionary I must explain that it doesnt involve donkeys and pasta)and I even bought one of those pans which you use to find gold in streams. I'm not sure if I will get the chance to play with it before I get over my crisis or get a job, but at least I have one now which is one step closer to panning (which I always wanted to try)
Now, if I could just fit into the jeans that I got into 20 years ago everything would be great.
