  A lovely trip to the beach yesterday, favourite parking spot right close to my favourite bench, front row view. Plenty to see, wild life, people and happy dogs. Went to supermarket afterwards, I don't usually go in but there were bits and bobs th...

  To Hop-on or Hop-off is the question?

  Post 535: A walk, some shopping and a tiring walk home.

  Post 535: A walk, some shopping and a tiring walk home. Again, the waking after another poor night’s sleep was in excitement for another walk, but this time towards, not away from, the shops in town. At least that’s what I hoped. There ...

  Post 533: Friday fish and chips and beer. All summer there were weddings and holidays that separated my regular meets with Dave but after two quick texts a hasty response made a confident booking in the diary for a beer. The beery meets with pals h...

  Holidays!

  Well, it took me a while to get back here with another entry! My motivation is pretty low at present, I feel like half my energy is taken up with worrying about Mr. B & the other half with mundane tasks.  We had a good summer though! We drov...

  Post 532: It was a frustrating day, tattoo tomorrow, hurrah.

  Post 532: It was a frustrating day, tattoo tomorrow. There wasn’t much to cheer me up but the cleaner coming in and saying how good I looked, this is a boost to my ego and makes me stand a little taller but in reality I was lying when I said...

  One Life Live It

  Tempting Fate

  So that was it?  The 5 year check up is meant to be a significant milestone but the fact that the radiographer was on holiday and I couldn’t have the mammogram as planned was a bit of a let down and once again I realise that the priva...
