As part of my 50th year and this ‘Daily thoughts’ series, I aim to appreciate important people in my life and celebrate them. Today I’m celebrating someone who I’ve known for almost thirty years. When we first met I had just left university and was working in a bank to save money to go travelling.Continue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 20 of 366”

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”

I’m not sure how on earth I managed to commute to London five days per week for over 20 years, it’s flipping tiring! After a very full day I had a nice snooze on the train home 😂 Today was the first day of a two-day planning session called Termly Increment (TI) Planning, which takesContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 17 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 15 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”

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”

Watching Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild as I’m writing this evening, he’s visiting a couple living on Great Blasket island just off the coast of Ireland. I’ve probably seen every episode of every series and I find people’s stories really inspiring. I think this is why I find myself drawn to visit wildContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 9 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 8 of 366
In a previous post I mentioned that last year I prioritised work, and it was to the extent that I would regularly miss lunch to get something done and often work late. We all do this from time to time as most of us are conscientious, and go the extra mile when there is aContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 8 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”
