Sunday 15 November It’s really felt like the day after, the day before. We woke to torrential rain and strong wind battering our bedroom window. It makes a lively sound whilst lying in bed, climbing out of my metaphorical pit of sleep. But with it came a leak through the window seal dripping on theContinue reading “Day 240”

Day 234
Monday 09 November Always a bit of a chore to write my blog on a working Monday. It’s a tough enough job at the best of times. But with everything else going on its that little bit harder in all directions. We woke this morning to a thick fog. The clocks have been adjusted toContinue reading “Day 234”
Day 233
Sunday 08 November We have been out on some nice local walks this weekend. Enjoying the mild temperatures and accompanying sunshine. It does make a real difference when the weather is good. But as we are deep into the Autumn, it’s not so much of an issue if the weather is good or not. JustContinue reading “Day 233”
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 177
Sunday 13 September Things came together at the right time the other day. Twice. And both had a trumpet as a common feature. Actually, Haydn’s trumpet concerto in E Flat. A piece written in 1796 to showcase the technological creation that was the three-valved trumpet. The right tune at the right moment is always aContinue reading “Day 177”
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 172
Tuesday 08 September Having a pint in a pub beer garden, at 8pm on a weekday evening, is an unplanned pleasure. Its soon going to be too cold/wet/windy/dark (delete as applicable) to do, so we grabbed the opportunity this evening after our walk. We sit and talk about the rapidly increasing cases of the virusContinue reading “Day 172”
Day 171
Monday 07 September Numbers of confirmed covid 19 cases are rising. Yesterday was 3000+, the highest since May 22, and today it was 2900. Deaths are still low, which is being put down to the fact that the majority of cases are affecting the young. This correlates with pubs and clubs reopening, shops and workplacesContinue reading “Day 171”
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”
Day 154
Friday 21 August After yesterday’s post, diverting slightly away from the kinds of things I normally write about, I am going for a walk in the great outdoors. I need it. In previous summers, I have cycled with the kids, from Harwich to Home. But I want to walk it this summer. I’ll do itContinue reading “Day 154”
