Guitar for beginners

My “New Years Resolution” or more accurately a personal goal for the New Year was to learn to play the guitar, I had started watching a couple YouTube videos but I was embarrassed to pick up Lincoln’s guitar because I literally did not know how to hold it how to strum it or what to […]

It’s always the owner

Billy is a pretty a good dog and I am always trying to train him, but unfortunately he is not perfect, his recall 75% and his retrieve and general field work is similar but can falter when there are distractions. His walk to heal is OK at best but since he was attacked by a […]

We are not poor any more!

We still are, it was just a statement Jamie came out with when she was suggesting a road trip across America that would involve seeing her brothers on the way to her Moms house to see her, I have to say a road trip is something I would jump at in the right weather and […]

Back to work

Have to admit it was a struggle to motivate meself this morning after waking 3 times in the night probably because I was thinking about work today but once I was up it was ok and the main priority was making sure Lincoln was OK because there was some tears about his new trousers (they […]

New Years Eve 2021

Covid kicked my ass all day just sapped all my energy I took Billy when I got up and thatcwas an effort, I then removed the remaining skirtings from under the TV but that was me done. Jamie kept me in flu tablets which actually put a spring back into my step for an hour […]

Jamie bought a sofa

If we are getting new flooring in January we obviously need new furniture, right? Well I agree, we actually do because our existing stuff is on its way out, and that is being kind. The chair, two seater sofa and sofa bed were all free second-hand so were worn when we got them and in […]

Symptoms?

There’s a lot of concern from Jamie about my symptoms or lack of, but I can’t tell what are symptoms or what are just aches and pains from working hard removing skirting boards in readiness for new flooring? If I am honest I am more achy than I would expect from just doing a bit […]
