June is the month when I think it is fair to say that I really moved to Scotland. We are still in the process of moving bit-by-bit, but in June I spent most of the time in Scotland, while Jayne was mostly in England. She has been unhappy because she just wants to get moved, […]

I guess it was inevitable that, after a January that seemed to go on for ever, February passed by in a flash. I know it is a short month, indeed the shortest month, but it still felt like it was a week shorter than a normal month rather than just a couple of days.

After the excitement and stimulation of September, and the city break in Madrid, October was considerably less eventful for me, although it was a different story for Jayne. After me spending my birthday in Madrid, Jayne spent her birth day on a cruise ship in the Med. It might sound a bit strange for us […]

Already? Where has this year gone? Three quarters of the way through the year and it feels like nothing has really happened. I guess that makes me lucky really because people in war zones like Ukraine, Gaza and Chicago would love to feel that nothing has happened. On the other hand, September was a bit […]

An eventful month, one way or another. In the first three weeks I managed to get out quite a bit on the motorbike, making the most of it before everything gets colder, darker and wetter. I did trips out to Lewes, Arundel, Dorking and Camberley checking out record fairs and shops, but also found myself […]

Looking back, July seems to be a month where I got out more than usual but also managed to do a lot more indoors things as well. I don’t understand how that works. Jayne and I got to go out together a few times because her shift pattern was kind to us this month, and […]

March was quite eventful, and also turned out to be quite an expensive month for us.

My levels of busy-ness at work tend to fluctuate, depending on what is going on and my own levels of energy and enthusiasm. Because of the nature of my job I can’t go into details but it was all getting very busy indeed in February. We are supposed to have short days on Fridays but […]

I know I am not alone in feeling like January went on forever this year. I don’t think I actually did much because I spent most of the last 8 weeks of the month wondering when it would be over. Despite the number of storms we had, I managed to get out a few times […]
I don’t do New Year resolutions, but…
January 8th, 2025 · Comments Off on I don’t do New Year resolutions, but… · Life
I don’t do New Year resolutions. People who do always seem to fail and then feel bad about it, often as early as January which is the graveyard of good intentions. At the end of the year I had not gone to the gym once and I was fine with it, but if I had […]
