Today’s picture is of our friendly neighbour, ‘Power-tool Phil’. We were talking about old children’s TV programs whilst having our socially distanced coffee, and it would appear he is putting on his own version of sooty and sweep, either that or he hasn’t read the instructions on his new fishing rod ….. Joking aside, PhilContinue reading “July 16th – Neighbours”

July 14th – workshop cupboard
Today’s picture/post is a bit different, and is connected to mental health. As you’ll see, there are numbers on each drawer in my workshop, and I have a white board detailing what they contain, for example, 4 contains plumbing stuff, 10 contains electrical stuff. When it comes to mental health, we sometimes need different toolsContinue reading “July 14th – workshop cupboard”
July 12th – Walkies ….
A lovely walk today with a few friends. It is easy to think you need to drive for hours to find somewhere nice, but there really are some hidden gems on you doorstep. The weather helped, as did the company, but it is always nice to get off the sofa and go for a strollContinue reading “July 12th – Walkies ….”
July 9th – The commuter
Today’s picture is of a lady that we often see whilst walking the 4 legged children. She is either on her way to work or on her way home. I recall the commute I endured when working from the office. Stuck in traffic most days, trying to get to North Bristol, with a journey timeContinue reading “July 9th – The commuter”
July 7th – Au Revoir
Today’s picture, is of our dear friends Clive and Sarah, who have been our drive guests for a few weeks due to their year long trip, being put on hold due to the Corona Virus out-break, and having rented out their house. Thanks to travel restrictions being lifted, they are on their way again. WeContinue reading “July 7th – Au Revoir”
June 30th – look back or forward?
Well, I like to do both. The picture today is of our calendar. Each year I create a calendar which has photos of a year ago in that month. As we hit 100 days in lockdown (in the UK), and say goodbye to June, I reflect on last year’s trip to Scotland from the calendarContinue reading “June 30th – look back or forward?”
June 23rd – Memories of people passed
Whilst cutting the lawn in the front my eye caught our lovely fuchsias. The detail on the flower heads always amazes me, especially in the sunshine and always makes me think of the late Mother-in-law. She loved her garden and a lot of the fuchsias come from cuttings of her plants from North Devon. WheneverContinue reading “June 23rd – Memories of people passed”
June 28th – Festivals
Like so many others, we are missing live music due to Covid-19. Today’s picture is one dug out from the archives which I hope captures the atmosphere at Glastonbury, where we should have been today. Although we have been watching the BBC’s archives of Glastonbury on the TV, it isn’t quite the same. The vastContinue reading “June 28th – Festivals”
June 25th – Hot, Hot, Hot
Hot work ….
June 21st – Birthday
A short post today as I rack up another digit on the age abacus. My wife and I agreed not to buy presents because if we want anything, it is ordered and usually arrives the following day. My favourite present is presence. Seeing friends and family, and making memories are priceless gifts for me. MyContinue reading “June 21st – Birthday”
