I honestly, really did have every intention of getting up for a walk this morning. Yesterday, we changed from the summer to the winter quilt. Of course, at the start of the night, it was way too warm. By the time the morning had arrived, it urned into a bundle of warmth that was wayContinue reading “1766 – A trip out”

Recently, it has been painful to walk. My right heel has been giving me a lot of pain, and my right leg in general hasn’t been right. I tried sommething today, ditching the trainers that I normally use and instead wore my firmer walking shoes. The result, a significant improvement and reductionin pain levels. TheContinue reading “1765 – A bit of a problem”

I think it was probably by last Thursday that we had mapped out how we wanted today to go. I am very pleased to report that it pretty much went as we wanted it to; We had a fairly easy wake up, except for Misty wanting breakfast at some ridiculous hour, and making no bonesContinue reading “1764 – A day goes to plan.”

Things really are happening down at the bus station. One concern I had was the charity bike shop that had been operating out of a unit around the corner from the Tourist Information Centre. I was speaking to a chap who told me that the shop was operating near St Vincents college. I was pleasedContinue reading “1763 – Friday”

Whilst I went for a walk yesterday morning I took pictures mainly of the start of the demolition of the Bus station, which has now really begun. The guy that I spoke to on Tuesday said that the first thing they would do is take the glass out. The question that immediately came to mindContinue reading “1762 – I should have posted to Facebook”

I’ll give you two pictures today. The first one are the dredger and the hopper holding the dredged material. They were in Haslar Marina. I have seen them before, but can’t remember when, probably a few years ago. Then there is the second picture; This one is the Saint Malo, the Brittany Ferry that isContinue reading “1761 – Little rewards”

This morning’s Facebook post was, for me, quite a long one. I covered several developing stories. Of course, the main one is the demolition of the bus station. By a very fortunate collision of circumstances, which meant that I was at the bus station at the start of the day when demolition will commence. IContinue reading “1760 – Complimentary posts”

Today was another treat for Aurora’s birthday. We visited Fishers Farm; https://fishersfarmpark.visihost.co.uk/ I think I can confidently say that we will be going back. We didn’t spend the full day there, the weather was a little bit off-putting some very intense showers, mixed in with the odd bit of sunshine. There are lots of thingsContinue reading “1759 – Fishers Farm”

Exceptional circumstance mean that there are no pictures today. Especially as any picture really should feature Aurora. I haven’t got permission to post a picture of her anywhere other than Facebook, so I am hoping to have one or two that I post there tomorrow, but not here for the time being. To post anyContinue reading “1758 – Aurora’s 1st Birthday Party”

We went to Costco today, to do a bit of shopping in preparation for Aurora’s first birthday party. I saw this giant bauble there. You don’t really get a sense of scale from the picture it must have been at least four feet across. i didn’t dare ask Elayne if she wanted one, it wouldContinue reading “1757 – Saturday”
