A huge thank you to everyone who got in touch yesterday. I have had a relaxing evening, and time to take on the feedback and think about the way forward for my blog. I’ve decided to rename my posts to ‘Today’s thoughts…’ and then I’m not bound to do it either daily or weekly. OneContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 1 Feb 2024”

Daily thoughts… Day 28 of 366
Last December (2023) I went to the Barbican to see Simon Reeve on his ‘To the Ends of the Earth’ tour. I’m not quite sure what I was expecting, in the second half he touched on some deeply personal topics and I think it’s probably the most honest and raw shows I have ever seenContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 28 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 27 of 366
Maintaining kit is time well spent, as is having the right kit for the circumstance. As the saying goes: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” (Alfred Wainwright), although no outwear will ever keep you 100% dry and eventually your boots wear out and need repairing. While I’m talking about a tangible conceptContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 27 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 21 of 366
A weekend meeting up with friends, a walk along part of the Saxon Shore Way (today’s image) and catching up on TV. My top two January TV picks are: Have you watched any of these, and how did you find them?
Daily thoughts… Day 19 of 366
I’ve been reflecting on my journey this week; tiring, but I learned a lot. Sometimes we push ourselves into new environments, and sometimes we get a little push and have to decide if we are going to sink or swim. And yes, I do feel that it is a choice – it is all toContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 19 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 18 of 366
It was a balmy -5 degrees on my drive this morning as I was attempting to thaw the ice on the outside AND inside of my windscreen. I had got up at the crack of dawn to get the early train but the thawing took longer than expected and I had the pleasure of sittingContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 18 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 14 of 366
IMHO it’s good to have goals. They don’t have to be big or difficult, a goal might be to read a book or visit someone you haven’t seen in a while. I lived for many years without any real goals – nothing to mark the passage of time – one day was just like anotherContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 14 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 7 of 366
Shared a great morning walk with a friend today. 2024 is going to be friends appreciation year, of old friends and new. I can’t decide whether this friend is old or new, I think she’s a bit of both! We’ve known each other for years from playing in the same orchestra, but have recently connectedContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 7 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 6 of 366
After a productive week at work, I took the opportunity to try out some new kit (rucksack, boots and socks) in advance of a 5-day trek planned later in the year. Rather than using water or weights in the rucksack, I filled it with various books that are on my bedside table waiting to beContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 6 of 366”
