The great news today is that my bed does not loath me. I am not positive about the reason for the shoulder pain still, but the issue with my neck is Cricket Ache caused by nodding off in front of the television whilst watching the cricket and being incapable to sustain consciousness. At least I did manage to see the conclusion of the match. It won't be happening again, I am very much a Test match enthusiast and will not be bothering to stop up for the limited over matches. Besides, this being a Friday, in future weeks I'll be looking to get an early start at work so that I can bunk off in after lunch to go angling.
What with Mrs Izzard going back to work after a long sick leave due to breast cancer treatment since April in a couple of weeks, and the promise of the weather turning milder through February and March, the siren song of the canal towpath will probably be irresistible now that I have chosen to update the fishing tackle and start fishing again.
When I was going through my fishing tackle the other day, I discovered an old rod licence which was dated 1994, which most likely was the last year I went fishing. It seems a very long time and yet I remember it clearly, a sunny day in June when I went for a day's fishing on the Thames at Walton, and I caught my only ever barbel. This could seem weird, but most of the angling I did as a boy was on a little lake in the town where I grew up, and barbel are a river fish.
Then, I did not have a a lot of fishing tackle as I never had a lot of money and yet I still have most of it from then. I find it amazing that even when I did earn plenty of money, I never really thought about fishing or spending some money and buying some really fantastic fishing tackle and having more time by the water.
When I do go back, I will need to shell out some change\money, the priority is getting a rod licence and joining the Birmingham Anglers Association who control fishing on the canals close to here, then I will need some fresh fishing tackle as mine is old and possibly illegal now, especially the hooks which all appear to have barbs which I am pretty sure aren't permitted now.
I cannot wait to resume, though I'm not humiliated to confirm that I was always and certainly will be now, a very fair weather fisher, so I will need dry, warm conditions. It doesn't have to be sunny, just not wet and cold and if it is a Friday after the present Mrs Izzard has resumed work (and I'm legal) then the probability is I am going to go fishing. Brilliant.
