Infact it’s been a whole year. A whole year older and 2 stone lighter and 4 inches off my waist. I think that’s quite an achievement. At our age you start thinking about how long you’ve got left and how you can improve what you’ve got left. Val and I adopted a new way. WeContinue reading “Its been a while”

Val’s back at work
The holiday finished on Monday (Easter Monday) and Val went back upstairs to her work. She is very fastidious about putting in the time. I’m sure I never was. She has been feeling insecure about what she is doing but yesterday she received an email telling her what a wonderful piece of work she hadContinue reading “Val’s back at work”
Social distancing??!!
This morning I lost my rag a little as an unknown car pulled up outside a house opposite to us. I woman got out and went to one of the houses and as she approached to the house I called….. “They’re not in. Do you live there? No!! Don’t you know the social distancing rule”Continue reading “Social distancing??!!”
A six mile walk on a sunny day in Costessey
What a glorious day it has been….. so far. Val and I missed our walk yesterday for various reasons and so we were determined to get out and stretch our legs. Val had found a circular walk on a local website but it was a bit vague and so I used Viewranger (now outdooractive)Continue reading “A six mile walk on a sunny day in Costessey”
April 7th Trespassing walk
Today I picked up something I’ve been coveting for absolutely ages. An electric Brompton in a metallic blue. It was a strange process. Not too go into too much detail I bought this the day before Boris closed all three shops and having paid the best part of £3000 I couldn’t collect it!!! How frustratingContinue reading “April 7th Trespassing walk”
Val’s on holiday this week
It’s a holiday week for Val so she’s been making pasta and I changed the covers on our settee. We managed to get out this afternoon for a walk and found a wood we hadn’t found before. I expect we’ll be going back with cameras tomorrow.
In the garden.
Val and I got out into the garden early. I spent the morning laying honeysuckle down against our two fences and then preparing to BBQ our lunch….. https://photos.app.goo.gl/y5UxBKMxurJ6brKRA We’ve had lunch and you can follow the link to view how the garden is coming on.
2020/04/02 Saturday
The last couple of days I’ve been a bit down. The state of the world, the nation is just scary. Val picked up on this yesterday and despite having to do her job she gave me a cuddle and tried to cheer me up. This morning we had breakfast together. I made Scottish pancakes withContinue reading “2020/04/02 Saturday”
