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 […]

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.

I think everybody agrees that January this year seemed to go on for ever, but maybe it didn’t just feel long but really was long. Here’s the thing; we had a grandchild that was due to be born on Feb 20th or thereabouts but actually arrived on Jan 15th. I sort of wonder whether the […]

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 […]

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.
Why does it always rain on me?

It was May Day today so, as is traditional, we got on our bikes and rode down to Hastings which is always absolutely manic on May Day. The High Street is closed off and full of people with green faces and branches in their hair celebrating something called Jack-in-the-Green, while every car park along the […]

A quiet month, fortunately. No work trips to Glasgow, no drives to Norwich, Hampshire or Essex to visit family. Just work and a long Easter weekend, followed by more than a week of an unseasonable grotty cold, which started to disappear a bit towards the end of the month just as the weather perked up […]
