So it wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did, and I don’t feel bad about it at all. I ended up taking most of 2025 off. The initial plan was Q1. That dragged into Q2 as spring arrived and there just seemed better things to do with my time. Then summer arrived and I was … More 2025 – (nearly) a year off and project hair
Few things are better than catching up with friends. I had to go ‘south’ to see mother so I arranged a quick pit stop in London to catch up with Alison & Milly, and Steff & Gareth. We had take out, we played some games (CuBirds and Just One) and caught up. It was only … More Catching up with friends
I’ve just finished listening to the audio books – all 14 of them, although I have actually read or listened to the first 10 multiple times as I kept going back to the start, or back at least a couple of books, when a new book was published, this is only the second time I’ve … More The Wheel of Time (reread)
What else would you do on a free weekend with fine weather? Drag your friend out on a ‘little’ walk! I walk all the time (because I love to and also because I have a spaniel that *needs* to) and Dave has been wanting to get out of the house more, so as soon as … More A fine weekend for walking (a little to far…)

The Druid Inn, Birchover, is a perfect hour into a three hour walk from home to Stanton Moor. It’s a regular stop on a weekend walk. Today walk is mild, damp, and I’ve overdressed, so hot!
So today we got up at 2am to catch an early flight out of Manchester to head to Ibiza for a 70th birthday party! We rock! One of our neighbours is 70 at the weekend and has arranged a party in Ibiza where they have a second home and which 7 of the neighbours and … More Ibiza baby!
Quick as in there and back in a day. There was nothing quick about the actual journey in either direction!! So I went down to help move Firebox out of their office as they are now all working from home, so I was taking a lot of stuff back to Birmingham to store and use … More A quick trip to London
I finally had to give up my burgundy EU style passport as it was due to expire. Now we haven’t been in the EU for a few years now so nothing has actually changed for me, but getting one of the new blue (black) passports really pisses me off. I will always consider myself European … More It finally happened and I hate it.
