Anniversaries

  I risked the integrity of my wallet this morning after Caffe Nero and headed to B&Q, I normally avoid the place like the plague as I’m always too tempted by all the DIY treasures, but there are a few things that are just too heavy for Amazon delivery.  Today...

Odd Jobs

Another lovely sunrise this morning marked the beginning of a mostly good day, marred only by a migraine in the late afternoon and evening.  Expecting rain for most of the day I took the opportunity of a dry start to walk along the prom into town and then spent most...

Fleas :-(

It’s been raining for most of the day again, but fortunately I got in my morning walk to Caffe Nero and back without a drop falling on me, even so the wind along the sea front was almost as bad.  Caffe Nero time was great as usual, Andy was there...

My Simple Guide To Eating Well

  This post is part of a series that makes up my Simple Guide To Health which is part of a broader collection of posts on Living Well. Of the series of guides that I’ve written so far, this one’s been the most difficult to write.  There are so many...

Rain Rain ..

Well the best that can be said about the current weather is that the grass is looking very lush, I’m a fair weather exerciser though so it’s been a only short stroll into town and Caffe Nero for me and the exercise bike has been well used instead of my...

Lazy Day In Cleveleys

Debbie and I went to Cleveleys today, we went earlier than usual to watch the movie Brooklyn, and to make sure that we had time to get brunch at Cafe Cove.  Although it’s not particularly adventurous I really enjoy our Cleveleys visits, time together in the car, wonderful views, great...

Phase 3 Of My Retirement

I slept well last night but went to bed late, so I was still pretty weary when I woke up today.  I was so tired that I was quite close to skipping my beach walk and taking the short route to Caffe Nero, how glad I was that I made...

Busy Busy

Today was my first day immersed fully in my new responsibility for the shopping and meal preparation and it was quite a challenge squeezing everything into my normal daily routine and I’ve been tired.  Tired because last night I didn’t sleep very well at all, the dreaded restless leg kicked...

Garden Work

Phew, after days of fog the sun came out this afternoon and dried the, over long, grass enough for me to get it cut.  It’s always a challenge with a push mower trying to keep on top of mowing, too long and the mower just jams up, too short and...

Rivington With Stu

When I left work the main thing I was worried about was losing touch with my friends, but that’s not really happened.  Lots of opportunities still present themselves to get together and there’s plenty to talk about besides work.  Although I’m not immersed in the same work as they are...
