April was quite an expensive month. I finally got round to getting Jayne and I new phones, I bought myself a car, and we bought a house! The house is a big deal, obviously, and I will probably go into all that in a separate post. The rest of the month was pretty much business […]

How is it that a year seems to drag on and on and then suddenly its December and then December flashes past in 5 minutes? In line with traditional male stereotypes I discount any sort of planning for Christmas, including buying presents, because “its still November” or “there are weeks to go yet” and then […]

It seems like this was yet another month of not getting round to watching as much TV as I had intended to this year. It was just the normal regular shows like HIGNFY, House of Games, The Late Show, QI and so on, plus the end of the Taskmaster series and the start of a […]

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 […]

Phew, what a scorcher! After the first week, June in Crawley saw a lot of the weather that we might have expected in Corfu in May, but didn’t get. Naturally, the first week was when I was still off work, and the dry weather waited until I was back working.

May was a very eventful month, which we have been looking forward to/dreading for ages. Jayne got it into her head that it would be a good idea for us to take five grandchildren away to Corfu for half term, and in a moment of weakness I agreed to this mad plan.

Another good month. Decent dry weather coincided with weekends, bank holidays ,and Friday afternoons often enough for me to get out on the bike quite a bit. I got to go out ten times. A couple of those were for local events, but the rest of the time I was out visiting various places in […]
