He said, she said, and twisted tales
I've had enough of he said, she said rubbish, twisted tales, and wishes that people would be brave enough to speak face to face. Remember, after all the stories are said and done, the truth always comes out in the end. [...]
A day out at Pleasurewood Hills
It was a cold, windy and wet Mayday Bank Holiday weekend, so we went to Pleasurewood Hills for some much need fun, and wow what a day we had. The rides were fantastic, especially Wipe-out, Wizzy Dizzy and enigma. [...]
She’s simply amazing!
Just wanted to say that I am very proud of Helen for running a very wet, windy and cold Race for life today. She's simply amazing, Well done! [...]
Owl Wireless Electricity Monitor
This year we’re looking at saving energy, and reducing our household bills. Our first step was to see just how much energy we’re using, so we brought an electricity monitor, the Owl Wireless Monitor (CM119) + OWL USB Connect. [...]
Solar Balloons
Being a lovely hot and sunny day, I thought I’d build a solar balloon. All you need for some enormous fun are some of really cheap (Tesco value) black bin bags, some clear sticky tape, scissors, and a cloudless sky. It can be cold, but it’s got to be sunny. [...]
Hazel O’Connor and the Bluja Project
Last night Helen and I went to see Hazel O’Connor and the Bluja Project, (Clare Hirst and Sarah Fisher) at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay. She was awesome! Watching Hazel sing and dance was just like reliving my youth, and watching her movie Breaking Glass. [...]
Patio cleaning
Our patio has been looking pretty sad lately. Over the winter it seems to have grown moss, mould and is very dirty, and was in desperate need of a clean. I’d tried to clean it with a stiff brush [...]
Ford Focus rear brake pad change
I’ve been doing some work on the car this week, and I’ve changed the rear brake pads. It’s been on my list of things to do list for a while, so with the sun on my back I got down and dirty. [...]
Things change, people change
Things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn't mean giving up. . . it means accepting that some things weren't meant to be. [...]
For a friend
This moment is mine. I live for this moment. I will make the most of this moment. I choose to be happy. [...]
Difficult thoughts for a difficult time.
Losing the person who means the world to you, can be the worst feeling you'll ever experience. I know that it hurts a lot, and you feel your life is over, but you have to get yourself together so that you can decide where you will go from here. You have to realize that you cannot make anyone stay [...]
Dillon, Daisy and the hot mouse tea.
Yesterday I forgot to feed the Dillon and Daisy, our cats. “That’s terrible”, I hear you cry, and normally I’d agree with you. However, this time it had an unexpected bonus, Daisy had gone out for the day, and come home with a plump juice field mouse for tea. [...]
Golden wedding anniversary
Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending a weekend with the family, celebrating Helen’s Mum and Dad’s Golden wedding anniversary. I think it’s wonderful that two people have dedicated the past 50 years to each other and their family. We stayed at the Beach House in Mundesley [...]
