I haven’t written about Vlogging for quite a while. I also haven’t done any videoing for some time. I very much have not forgotten about it. I’ve just never managed to get around to it. One of the issues I’ve always had is what on earth can I blog about. Well, I’ve had two ideas.Continue reading “870 – Vlogging”

I was determined to go for a walk today, and there was no accounting for the rain. It was raincoat weather. I haven’t had a wwalk along to the western end of Stokes Road for quite a while, let alone a walk down the railtrack path. It rained slightly heavily only oncve, so I gotContinue reading “869 – Walking in the Rain”

I’m not doing enough exercise. I have been for a walk everyday but they are only two to two and a half miles. I’m enjoying the lunchtime walks, and missing the mornings, but I’m still not able to get up. I could, but I don’t want to. And ŷet, now I feel absolutely shattered, andContinue reading “868 – That was the week”

There’s a film. I’m pretty sure it’s Charles Dickens Great Expectations I think it may be a 1930’s film. There’s a scene with a young lad in a very bleak industrial landscape (which apparently is actually Chatham), but for some reason has really stuck in my mind. I mention the film (and have done soContinue reading “867 – Down at the waterfront”

For the first time in quite a while, I was a bit reluctant to sit down to tonight’s blog. But, here we are and only 134 to go before we hit 1000. I would be a bit daft to give up now. I never thought when I started I would get this far. What aContinue reading “866 – The Blog”

I wanted to go for a morning walk, I woke just after 4AM, stayed awake long enough to push Rascal off my chest and then fell back to sleep. I did manage to get out for a lunchtime walk, I had a drop off and a couple of pickups to do, and luckily enough timeContinue reading “865 -It was a Blustery Day”

Two of the most stressful (for whom?) events that we can be involved in are weddings and house moves. The planning for one is well underway. The prospect of a move is increasing. There are a couple of hurdles still, the chances of our being in a different house for next Christmas are increasingly likely.Continue reading “864 – plans for the year”

What did you do today? Starting with last night. We didn’t go out, we didn’t have anybody around, it was just us. We watched many episodes of 9-1-1 Lone Star. We have very much enjoyed both this and the original 9-1-1. Very powerful characters. We’ll be very sad when it comes to an end. WeContinue reading “863 – 01 Jan 2023”

We’ve just watched 2023 burst upon in a cacophony of noise and light, and I realised that I had not posted a piece in the 4 hours prior. So, the counter is reset to zero for 01 Jan 23. Shall we see how far we can get through this year? This is going to beContinue reading “862 – Well, Hello 2023. Welcome.”

Ignore the RAYNET signs and the stuff on the bonnet. Not relelvant to this post. Today we made another London trip. We left home with a 100% battery. Road conditions were atrocious, it was cold so we had to use the heater a fair bit to demist – the heater really eats the battery. WhenContinue reading “861 – The EV Again”
