Boxing Day 2022

Knocked the cobwebs off with a walk up to Norman’s Wood this morning which was a really great way to get the blood flowing after eating a lot yesterday and in preparation for much the same at mums later After missing out last year due to a COVID outbreak at our house it was great […]

Christmas Day 2022

Sat waiting for the Broncos Christmas Day game again the LA Rams to start at 9:30pm after a lovely day at home which for Reagan and Lincoln  was all about the presents for Mommy it was about making everything just right for everyone else and for me amongst many things having my Mum over for […]

Christmas Eve 2022

This afternoon was spent watching movies and baking, I watched It’s a wonderful life, before taking Billy and got back to watch The Grinch. It was a little later than usual when we got around to watch our traditional Snowman movies, the children are growing up and as much as we want them around us […]

All good plans

We slept in a bit and it rained so the plan to get to the shops early was scuppered because Mommy wanted to wake up without an alarm so that was never going to be before 8 let alone 7 as planned. The plan to do the Middlewich Walk was still on until she looked […]

All finished finally

…well with work and school anyway! The prep we always go through trying to make Christmas Day begins, now Mommy has finished work until January, where we will buy more food than we could possibly eat and wrap the tons of gifts from us and the American family that arrives from Amazon, most of which […]

Reagans teeth

It needs mentioning that Reagan has 3 of 4 rear molers that did not form properly and the dentist referred us to an orthodontist who recommended braces but referred her on to Leighton Hospital because before braces can be fitted they need room to move so the plan is to have 4 rear molers removed […]

Girly time

As a treat to make up for not liking football enough to want to watch the Broncos back in November, Reagan went to London for a couple of days for some Mommy time. A bit of rain didn’t dampen their spirits and a walk through London’s Christmas lights a meal and The Snowman ballet in […]

400 Days What now…?

While cravings may flare briefly at the edge of my consciousness from time to time, my alcohol habit is dead and gone; I can sit comfortably with friends watching them drink lager, bitter or wine as I nurse a coke or sparkling water. My sense of what is “normal” drinking has shifted on its axis. […]

No lights so Tenpin

We were all set for our annual visit to Dunham Massey to see their Christmas lights, but 2 hours before our appointment, Mommy got an email cancelling our booking due to “icey conditions” So after getting over the anger (because it had warmed up and was now raining so why cancel it?) and the disappointment […]
