Thursday 05 November Today started with some mild Covid19 concern at work but it all got sorted swiftly and calmly. The first day of the second nationwide lockdown started with a bit of a bang. We have had a box of tree saplings delivered to the school for us to plant up on the schoolContinue reading “Day 230”

Day 227
Monday 02 November Why do we go through, what seems like, phases of bad things happening? Times when it feels like there is a relentless stream of sadness or badness. I don’t ever remember similar stretches of ‘positivity’ occurring. “They always come in threes, you know.” Or “It’s just one thing after another.” These sayingsContinue reading “Day 227”
Day 226
Sunday 01 November I don’t know if today is the end of an incredible week or the start of an incredible week. Arguably, it’s both. This past week has seen the fishing out of good parcels and a half-term break of if, buts and maybe’s politically, so ially and economically. It culminated personally with aContinue reading “Day 226”
Day 183
Saturday 19 September 8.45am Lisa has just brought me a cup of coffee and I have woken this morning with a few things already clear in my head. I don’t think they are linked to anything subconsciously that I may have been dreaming about. But they are worthy of me writing down. First, the HummingContinue reading “Day 183”
Day 180
Wednesday 16 September I’ve been sat here next to the dog wondering what it is about this time of year that unsettles me so. I’ve been for a walk, the usual one, about three and a bit kilometres. A circuit around our local lanes and paths. On my way home just beforehand the sunshine wasContinue reading “Day 180”
Day 178
Monday 14 September I have found writing a post on a Monday a bit tricky of late. The first day of a new working week tends to be taken up with, well, work. I love what I do, I really do. But I’d be lying if I said I would rather be working than goingContinue reading “Day 178”
Day 175
Its been a bonkers first full week back at work. Proper. So much has been crammed into just five days and whereas some weeks can drag, this one has whizzed by. I am missing the freedom to take myself off for a walk or an explore somewhere. I realise that this is a luxury thatContinue reading “Day 175”
Day 174
Thursday 10 September Thankfully, I’m feeling a lot better today. The weirdness if the world we are living in at the moment is hard to grasp at times. Again, I’m not sure if its an age thing and that I am simply reflecting on what were seemingly simpler times. Or, maybe things are just crackers.Continue reading “Day 174”
Day 173
Wednesday 09 September I’ve felt pretty under the weather today. Headache, dizziness, feeling sick. Not the obvious signs of Covid-19 but I can’t avoid thinking is it, or isn’t it? Daft really because it just leads to more stress and worry which doesn’t help. Today, the government has decided to re-impose some restrictions on everyoneContinue reading “Day 173”
Day 157
Monday 24 August I normally compile my posts at various points throughout the day. Something happens or pops in my head and I make a note of it. But today, I have come to a completely blank space just minutes before midnight. I feel a bit pressured, that I’ve let myself down somehow. A veryContinue reading “Day 157”
