I actually managed to get out today. My intention was to get to the nearest bus stop, but when I reached Stokes Road, I was confronted with this. There’s obviously been a bit of a communications breakdown, as it appears that no noe had told the bus service. I was watching this, heard a busContinue reading “1863 – Road Closures”

For whatever reason, I was going to give Elayne a lift to the Ferry. It didn’t happen, but we did reach the point where we were sat in the car. Having reached a point where the decision was made that Elayne wasn’t going to the ferry, I looked at Elayne and said “We are inContinue reading “1862 – I get out”

I am not suggesting for one minute that I am not ill. I have had a persistent chronic cough since well before retirement started. A friend has suggested that it could be an intolerance – I think that is a possibility. I have a Drs appointment next week, I’ll raise it as a possibility. I’veContinue reading “1861 – Structure”

As it stands at the moment, formally, I’m still in employment. I don’t officially finish until the 2nd of Jan. I’ve felt like I’ve just been on a bit of Chrsitmas leave, so not that much different to normal. That’ll change on Frday, but I’m getting used to it now. I just need to bringContinue reading “1860 – Retirement”

Somehow, a ccouple of months ago, I picked up a cough. It’ll be alright, I thought, a few days it’ll go. Nope. A few weeks later I still have it. Time for the Doctors. Antibiotics, that’ll do it. 5 days worth, the symptoms ease but don’t go, and then resurface. Back to the Doctors, anotherContinue reading “1859 – Extreme Frustration”

I’m sorry. Another short post. I didn’t go anywhere today. It is almost a week since I last left the house. Not a good state to be in.

I nearly missed posting today. I have been having a discussion with chatGPT, about my political views and beliefs. All interesting stuff, and I may post a conclusion later, but for now I need to post this before midnight to keep the count going.

I’ll be honest. The picture is from a few years ago, but it serves to illustrate my point. That point is at the moment, I have practically nothing to sasy about what is going on in town, because I haven’t been out. Apart from a quick trip to the ferry pick up point in theContinue reading “1856 – Storm in a shallow saucer”

May I start by saying that I wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas. It has been both a happy day, full of cheer, happinesss, laughter and the delightful Aurora. But, also as he same time tinged with a hint of sadness. I feel immensely frustrated that I have not been able to helpContinue reading “1855 – Christmas Daay, 2025”

It seems that every so often, I forget to do a post and so the count goes back to zero. Last night then, was a bit different. I made a deliberate decision not to do a post. Let’s just say that I have been feeling a bit rough, for several weeks now, and last nightContinue reading “1854 – One of those times.”
