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 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”

Shared an wonderful evening with treasured family, watching the stage adaption of the Studi Ghibli film My Neighbour Totoro at the Barbican. We thought this day would never come as it was booked so long ago, but it finally arrived! This film, the second by Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and releasedContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 15 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”

If I had my time again I think I would follow a path in Earth Sciences; my first choice would be in the field of volcanology. Some of you know I love visiting volcanoes and they are the subject of one of my talks. You can’t get straight into Volcanology, you have to do aContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 11 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 10 of 366
The second Wednesday of each month is my local Women’s Institute meeting. The first part is a meeting, followed by a speaker, coffee/tea/cake and then close. We take turns doing certain jobs at the meeting, like serving the tea, and this month my job was to give the vote of thanks to our speaker. TheContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 10 of 366”
