Thursday 13 August There is a real anger bubbling inside our household today just as the thunder clouds bubble up outside. The heat and humidity are pouring fuel on to both.

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.

Day 93
Sunday 21 June 8.15am. No walking today as its Father’s Day. When our children were younger, I was always a little perplexed that, on Mother’s day, I had the kids to give Lisa a break.
