Theives & Vagabonds

I took a call today from a number beginning 020 thinking it was a work call but infact it was a company called Life Search who I used 4 years ago to help get myself life insurance because at the time I was listening to a weekly podcast by someone who felt he needed peace […]

Sat in the sun thinking…

As I sat in the garden this afternoon choosing to spend the whole day doing nothing but have a chill out day in the sun I read the words below, which were attributed to Steve Jobs but a bit of Googling says that might not strictly be true. Whoever wrote them, doesn’t matter, what matters […]

Let’s Ride 2022

So as another season looms there is light on the horizon after 6 years of disappointment since winning #SB50 when dreams of a dynasty and continued success were quickly extinguished with a carousel of quarterbacks trying to follow in Manning’s footsteps and coming up way too short but not helped by a poor O-line and […]

Reagan is a winner

Reagan has a horseriding day today which she has had on many occasions and there is a competition between all the participants and she always does well but today in the sweltering heat she only bloody won ? How much prouder could I possibly be, she loves riding and it’s something she’s stuck at even […]

I had to go into the office today, as I have to every Wednesday, leaving the family at home on a very warm day. I had the luxury of an air-conditioned office but the children had to suffer a whole day swimming in the paddling pool eating ice creams and keeping hydrated. When I left […]

Roofin’ done

Well sort of… I have completed the gable overhang and fitted the OSB which I am pleased about because it means I am close to being fully enclosed

Reagan and Lincoln differ

We stood and watched Reagan happily playing in the paddling wearing a snorkel searching for coins I’d thrown in for that purpose, while Lincoln was at a “Youthie” day. She was content at that moment to just mess about as she had done all day yesterday with Lincoln and it was just good to watch. […]

Working on a Sunday

A little further progress today with three quarters of the roof completed, hopefully get the roof ready for membrane and felt shingles in the next couple of weeks? Possibly would have finished the roof this weekend but I had to work this morning setting up a new surgery in Westbrook so only had a few […]
