Saturday in London

A Friday night to remember after arriving at Euston Station with a short tube ride to meet Jamie, who should I clap eyes on as I got off the train…. A lovely surprise which meant our weekend started immediately and we were like newly weds as we rode the tube and then walked down Camden […]

Like our first date?

All day, I have felt so nervous probably because it was me who had to organise Reagan, Lincoln and Billy without my usual social secretary to help. Not that it was a problem I had all day to do it but strangely I felt like I did when I first went to see Jamie in […]

Early night

Having had a terrible night’s sleep last night when my brain would not switch off after playing pool I lay in bed awake in the dark  tonight although I wanted to veg on the couch after tea, without Jamie who is in London, I decided to go to bed at 10pm which is an early […]

Plywood grades

Having worked in my shed all weekend using the plywood I bought a few weeks ago it became apparent to me that the quality was not as good as I would have liked for my bench and something I need to educate myself on because in my opinion I have done a reay good job […]

Resignation accepted

Today, after swapping our Internet router yesterday I was experiencing low speeds which was annoying because the Draytek 2865 is a far superior unit the the proprietary the one BT supplied. I spent the morning troubleshooting why we were barely getting 7 or 8 Mb and not the 140+ we should be getting but became […]

An extra day

February the 29th a leap year gives me an extra day to love my family and for me that means a lot. I want as many opportunities to be there for all of them as possible, I just spoke to Jamie who was laying in bed in a hotel in london after going out to […]
