It was just a generally normal day, during breakfast we decided on meals for the week, and from that came the shopping list. Not a lot justa few things. Even the visit to the shop wasn’t unpleasant. I had to go to another store to get bin liners as I prefer theirs to the oneContinue reading “1718 – A rather nice day”

We went to Claires for Breakfast. I thouroughly enjoyed that, but then, when we got home, and after a 10 minute sit down to allow the food to go down, we got on with clearing the growth out the front. This is a once or twice a year job, and very satisfying when done. IContinue reading “1717 – A busy day”

Elayne told me about a Galleon that was moored in Portsmouth. It was only here for a couple of days. We hadn’t been out together on photographic trip for quite a while. It seemed like quite a sensible thing to do. We went to the waterfront to see if we could get a view ofContinue reading “1716 – An Evening Out”

I’ve had an interesting couple of days. The problem here, is that I’ve only done one Facebook post this week, and one of the interesting events is an ideal subject for another, I’ll mention it here once I’ve done a post there. We had a thunderstorm here. It was brief and the rain was veryContinue reading “1715 – An interesting couple of days”

Somehow, I’m not quite sure how, I’ve managed to do what I thought would be three of the four most difficult day of the week with relative ease. They were the days when I’d have to get up and go for a walk. Surprisingly, I’ve had no problems at all in getting up and out.Continue reading “1714 – How are we doing?”

OK, I’ve played with the colours a little bit, but it is brighter than the original. I did a facebook post this morning. The frustrating thing is that I always enjoy doing them, I think they are a little bit more personal than these posts, yet in many respects they aren’t. It seems right thatContinue reading “1713 – Tuesday’s Walk”

I could very easily have not got up this morning, but I did, I find it hard to describe my thinking around my reluctance to get up, or get out. I guess it doesn’t help that bed is so comfortable, and it is a degree of I can’t be bothered. But then the other sideContinue reading “1712 – Monday”

Looking at the weather app, tomorrow morning (Monday) promises to be bright and sunny. The radio is on charge, so apart from me feeling stressed about getting up (which I don’t at the moment) there’s nothing to keep me from going for a walk in the morning. Tuesday could be different though. There is anContinue reading “1711 – The week ahead”

It’s a bit like vlogging in that there will probably be quite few posts on the matter until it actually happens, and then possibly beyond. I was determined that I wasn’t going to retire until my 70th birthday, in about 18 months time, I felt entirely comfortable with that until fairly recently, when some kindContinue reading “1710 – Retirement”

Tonight, it bending Friday, we went to the chippy. Elayne had Fish & Chips & I had jumbo battered sausage Y& chips. We took our food to Lee-on-the-Solent and parked up in the big car park. Because it was past 1900, parking was free which was good. We really enjoyed our meal, we watched aContinue reading “1709 Friday = Fish & Chips”
