I finally sold my house in France. Not only were we freed of trying to maintain 2 houses and grounds, after 4 years very hard slog (mine had 2 hectares of which 1 was a wood, but the rest had to be mown and it was 40Km away) but I had enough money to buy in UK and get us back. OH's pad is now for sale (very cheap) if anyone wants a pad near to the Val de Vienne circuit.
OH's cancer was finally diagnosed and lifted out, after my muttering for months.
Early in the year I had another short story published. My nagging and worsening hip pain was sorted after a successful hip replacement.
All in all, a lot of positives (don't think about the negatives is good advice).
