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”

Day 149
Sunday 16 August Today has shown me how the weather can really affect how we go about our lives. It has been very ‘close’ today. I have never properly understood what that means but I do get it, I think. When the cloud is thick and relatively low it can feel oppressive. It gives meContinue reading “Day 149”
Day 143
Monday 10 August There have been a few topics for my blog that I had been saving up for when the weather turned too stormy or wet, preventing me from venturing outside for a walk. I had no idea that I would kept inside because the weather was too hot and sunny! It has reallyContinue reading “Day 143”
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 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 131
Wednesday 29 July A beautiful summer day. A gentle breeze and non-stop sunshine with plenty of big, white, happy cumulus clouds. Although they are generously scattered across the sky they never seem to block the sun. One of those days. A good day. We decided to go for a midday, midweek walk at one ofContinue reading “Day 131”
Day 130
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 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”
