0945/29th June 2022 Impromptu excursions often turn out to be the best. Last Wednesday we nearly didn't go, but it was one of those mild and brilliant days when it's good to be out. So we set off in no particular direction. Grant turned left toward Greenwich and then shot off to the right, taking … Continue reading Impromptu →

0550/1st July 2022 "Sun's been up for ten minutes. Where you bin?" No time to fiddle with the focus, because there was the Breakfast Club, lined up and waiting. Now I think of it, I don't remember even picking the camera up. I suppose it's become automatic when I go outside. "When you've quite finished … Continue reading Breakfast club →

115/29th June 2022 Nostalgia tiptoes in on the lilt of an old song. Before you know it, your face is wet. Should you step aside and let it pass... ...banish the emotion? Or let it envelop you? You can choke on repressed emotion. Grant was trying to recall an old song this morning. Without too … Continue reading Sounds of silence →

1740/28th June 2022 In the top picture, I saw a rather plump lady driving a car. (Lying on her back!) Three minutes later I had another look and decided she had changed into a sheep!

1342/27th June 2022 Cleaning windows. Now there is a job I must remember not to expend energy on in the future. It's worse than a waste of time. At least when windows are dirty, they are uniformly dirty. When you attempt to clean them you end up with streaks and smears. No matter the method … Continue reading Scents →

1953/26th June 2022 Did anyone notice, yesterday? That I was getting ahead of myself? The day ended much as it started but it was still June 26th, not 27th. I had actually checked, too! (?) Let's put it down to distraction. In 2020 I was compelled far too often to tune in YouTube to view … Continue reading Quiz time… →

0506/26th June 2022 Prelude to a steamy day! At 5 am it was already promising to be a scorcher. These are the days when the sky becomes hazy and everything takes on a wilted, washed out look. The warmer weather encouraged blooms from one of our new plants, a buddleia or so-called butterfly bush. The … Continue reading When to stop →

0540/24th June 2022 Washing-up entertainment was more washing-up interruptions this morning. Breakfast dishes are not necessarily my "job" but Grant normally goes off to do his rounds, taking the walkers out for their constitutional. Today the girls were in "chase mode". Lily suddenly shot round the corner, targeting a chipmunk and setting a squirrel to … Continue reading To the rescue… →
