September was a month packed with events and excitement, or at least what passes for excitement at my age.

Holiday post mortem

September 29th, 2019 · Comments Off on Holiday post mortem · Life, Technology

This week we returned from a 10-day visit to Crete. It was the most boring holiday Jayne and I have ever had, but that is not a bad thing. In the past we have rented a car or quad and gone out around the island, visiting the many and varied archaeological sites, but this time […]

Foreign parts

June 16th, 2019 · Comments Off on Foreign parts · Life

This month I saw my oncologist and got a plan for the remainder of my treatment. What that means is that we now know when my last lot of chemotherapy starts so we can work out when it should end, add a week to get over the effects, and a couple of weeks to allow […]

Back to real life

October 11th, 2013 · Comments Off on Back to real life · Life

Well the holiday in Egypt went well. I can’t belive it is all over and we are back to work – I suppose you could say I am in denial (geddit?). Sorry about that. Couldn’t resist it. Anyway, we had a great two weeks, bookended by two extremely dull Easyjet flights. I can live with […]

Normal service will be resumed…

September 18th, 2013 · Comments Off on Normal service will be resumed… · Life

…in October. Jayne and I are off to Egypt tomorrow for our first holiday in two years and are obviously very excited about it. The only fly in the ointment is worrying about how the dogs will react to us not being around for so long. Frankie is house-, dog, and cat-sitting and Charlie will […]

Epic holiday reading fail

September 2nd, 2013 · 4 Comments · Life

The other day I started to prepare for our impending hoday by stocking up on some reading matter. Our last holiday was a bit of a disaster in that department: Jayne took one book, thinking it would last her but finished it after a couple of days. I thought I was better prepared with my […]

Crete Uncovered

September 29th, 2011 · Comments Off on Crete Uncovered · Life

As teachers used to say “this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you”. I’m sure nobody wants to read all about my holidays, and I’m not sure I want to write about them but it needs to be done so I can move on, so here are a few thoughts about Crete, […]

Back to normality

September 26th, 2011 · Comments Off on Back to normality · Life

Well we are back from Crete and alomost ready to face normality again. Although the holiday was only a couple of weeks it has been a lot longer than that since everything has been normal here. Right up until we went away Jayne was still off work recovering, and before that of course she was […]

Holiday fever

September 7th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Life

I think I should take more holidays. If I did then I would not get so absurdly excited about it when I do go anywhere. As it is Jayne and I are practically stopping strangers in the street to tell them we are going away.

Bristol fashion

June 8th, 2010 · Comments Off on Bristol fashion · Life

Jayne and I were very impressed by Bristol at the weekend.  Although I had been there before it was a very long time ago and all I can really remember about it from then is the CLifton suspension bridge. I knew it was the home of Banksy, Concorde, Johnny Morris and Wallace and Grommit as […]
