Tuesday 28 July 9.55 am I started the day with a run. I haven’t done any exercise like that since me and Adora did the couch to 5k programme back in deepest, darkest lockdown. Pretty pleased with myself, I didn’t stop, collapse or cry so I call that a success. Got to make it regularContinue reading “Day 130”

Day 129
Monday 27 July Our friends are camping in Suffolk at the moment and have been posting some fabulous images of the vast East Anglian sky. I know I take our atmosphere for granted. It is highly complex but very simple at the same time, and I am pretty casual in appreciating what it does forContinue reading “Day 129”
Day 128
Sunday 26 July First weekend of the summer jolly-days and I’m very much focussing on food. I guess this is a natural follow on from the simple stuff I mentioned yesterday. The caterpillars of the Large White butterfly (see post from earlier this week) are feeding merrily on the Nasturtium flowers in the garden. ItContinue reading “Day 128”
Day 127
Saturday 25 July Simple things. The wonderful satisfaction and pleasure that comes from the simplicity of no drama, no pressure, no expectation. Today, I feel, is the first day of our summer holidays. There is no rush to get things done; which means when things do get done, I can revel in striking a lineContinue reading “Day 127”
Day 126
Friday 24 July It was my last day at work today and I am going to miss my daily drives down to Heybridge. We’ve got a fantastic month or so ahead of relaxation and trying to take stock of what has happened over the past few months. I’m going to head down there this summerContinue reading “Day 126”
Day 125
Thursday 23 July A day working from home. It’s been quite pleasant being with the family at home midweek. We have seen a lot of each other over recent months, but we never tire of each others company. A butterfly fluttered into the house this afternoon whilst I was at my laptop and set downContinue reading “Day 125”
Day 124
Wednesday 22 July It’s been a day of completing work as we near the end of the school year. A little strange as the kids are not in and with things still not back to normal yet. We’ve booked flights for Italy in October. A sign that we are looking beyond the here and nowContinue reading “Day 124”
Day 123
Tuesday 21 July The world has already reverted back to it’s pre-Covid19 madness. It wasn’t that long ago that we were all saying how much we had learnt about ourselves and our relationships with one another. That coping with this virus across the world made everyone our neighbour regardless of nationality. It was (is) aContinue reading “Day 123”
Day 122
Monday 20 July I was relieved to wake up this morning without blisters, painful legs, or sunstroke. That’s the first ‘morning after, the walk before’ where I haven’t had some kind of infliction. Happy days. Down at Heybridge today, and I went to check in with the grounds before going into the building. As IContinue reading “Day 122”
Day 121
Sunday 19 July 10.03am Third leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path today with the great and good of the Gentleman’s Film and Leisure Club. A 7.30am start and we drove to Cley-next-the-Sea to park. Then the coastal hopper bus along the coast road to Wells-next-the-Sea. The usual elements of our walks featured; the coffee toContinue reading “Day 121”
