Today has all been about the flooring for Debbie’s new office, although I did pop out to Caffe Nero and walk along the prom before I got started. Jennie and Jon cleared the room yesterday, leaving me to get on with the flooring today. I chopped the carpet up into...
Yesterday was hard work so I decided to rest a bit today, which was lucky as I’d forgotten that I’d got a blood test this morning. The focus for the day has been preparing for laying the floor tomorrow and then setting up Debbie’s office. I had another bad nights...
It was an exhausting day today, in and around Rivington. I pushed myself hard doing all of my body weight exercises out in the wilds, scrambling off track and doing some really physical exploring. It was great fun, but not something I’d want to do regularly. The day started lazily,...
Another rainy day provided a good opportunity to clear the cleaning backlog, which is good because I’m itching to spend the next couple of days hiking and then the rest of the week, and some of the following week will be spent creating a dedicated office for Debbie and a...
It’s been a strange day today, I’ve been struggling with a migraine which has come and gone in severity, not yet bad enough for pain killers. The weather too, can’t make up it’s mind, at times bright sunshine, then rain, then hail and back to sun. The unpredictability has mostly...
Four day breaks are perfect, they provide plenty of time for exploring and variety, they’re not long enough for home sickness, but it’s still nice to get back to the comforts of home. On my last break in Filey in September I really suffered badly from depression, made worse by...
When I woke up this morning and looked out of the window, I saw those pink clouds and couldn’t resist the draw of another sun-rise. So I dressed quickly and walked down to the beach, I timed it just perfectly as I arrived the sun crested Bempton cliffs, five minutes...
According to the weather forecast it was going to be dry and windy today, perfect for a cliff walk to Scarborough I thought, starting off at the country park cafe would make it perfect. Well it didn’t quite turn out that way, the cafe was closed and the walk was...
I went to Hull today and was surprised to see it in quite the state of disarray, bridges closed, roads being re-surfaced, squares and pedestrian streets ripped up, all in preparation for next years, City Of Culture designation. All told apparently £25M is being spent on improvements to the city...
I’m back in Filey today and there’s definitely something special about this place, that makes me relax. There’s many possibilities, but I think it’s the simplicity, the lack of clutter, people, responsibilities, and of course the the location, especially the beach and the surf which we just don’t get in...
