Saturday 06 February This morning, in fact the whole day, has drifted by satisfyingly swift. There’s always an expectation that the day needs to be filled with stuff being done. Not today. I pottered to start. Insignificant jobs were accomplished today. Like swapping bird feeders. Taking Stan to meet his girlfriend for his weekend walk.Continue reading “Day 323”

Day 304
Monday 18 January Today started with a mini-positive moment that sort of set me up for a fairly good day. I have never been a Monday person. If truth be told, I’m not a fan of mornings either. So, logic suggests that Monday mornings, when they come round, as they invariably do each week, areContinue reading “Day 304”
Day 299
Wednesday 13 January The day started a little differently. I woke as normal at 6am to the news on Classic FM. The newsreader announcing the proposed gloomy predictions for the day ahead. Impeachment-this, Covid-that, economic doom-the other. Dragging myself out of bed slightly later than normal to play out the usual routine. Shower, iron shirt,Continue reading “Day 299”
Day 165
Tuesday 01 September It’s been a crazy day with lots going on but very few physical steps taken. Like many, I have a watch that measures how many steps I have taken. At the close of play, as I sit on the sofa with a cup of tea and the dog on my lap, itContinue reading “Day 165”
Day 152
Wednesday 19 August In yesterday’s post, I mentioned about walking in my local area. How these walks during and since lockdown, and since having Mabel, have helped me appreciate the world on my own doorstep. Also, importantly, to know where I can and cannot walk. The other week a friend mentioned how his collection ofContinue reading “Day 152”
Day 142
Sunday 09 August A quieter day today as we returned home after our eight nights away in Norfolk. The usual post-holiday chores on our return; washing clothes, putting cases back in the loft. We spent some time in the garden this afternoon and evening. I had a go at the grape vine which has spreadContinue reading “Day 142”
Day 141
Saturday 08 August The Gents Film & Leisure Club went on another walk today. Fourth leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path; a rather humble 8.5 miles from Cley-next-the-Sea to Sheringham. The weather had changed from baking hot yesterday to pleasant but a little windy today. A gusty northerly was now blowing onto the beach fromContinue reading “Day 141”
Day 140
Friday 07 August I am fascinated by our relationship with the coast. Not the sea, that is something I don’t have a real connection with, although I appreciate many do. I also love the fruits of whatever is harvested from it. No, its the coast that I find wonderful. The final mile or so ofContinue reading “Day 140”
Day 139
Thursday 06 August A different day out at Houghton Hall today to see the Anish Napoor outdoor exhibition. The majority of his sculptures in this collection are made from shaped and polished marble but the most eye-catching piece is certainly this curved metallic dish. It is pitched at an angle of around 60° to theContinue reading “Day 139”
Day 137
Tuesday 04 August We’ve been with friends today on the beach and walking along the pathways of Holme-next-the-Sea. Conversations about this and that; the benefits of meditation, the positives from the Covid-19 pandemic, forest farms and apple orchard husbandry. I’m taking a lead from my friend, Pete, who speaks so passionately about his plans toContinue reading “Day 137”
