It’s been another difficult day today, every thing has been a mighty struggle against my inclination to do nothing, but I know from long experience that doing nothing’s not in my long term interest, so I struggle on.  I slept pretty well, woke up sore, stiff and weary but still...

I’m feeling very rough today, I’ve gradually got worse as the day’s worn on and by dinner I was struggling to stand up for long.  Day’s like this can be a trial, but there’s no pressure on me to do anything now which makes it easier to cope with. My...

After a weekend soaking in the gloom that accompanied ISIS’s terrors in Paris and then subsequent brooding about the generally bleak outlook for peace with Islamists in general, it was with great relief that I headed out to walk in nature with Vince today. To think about problems closer to...

Another rainy day but with a few dry spells which meant that by timing things right I managed to avoid the rain every time I went out.  I slept really well last night, which now means I’ve slept well for four nights in a row, to achieve this I’ve had...

  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...

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...

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...
