Remembering

I'm a bit up and down today. I always get like this as Remembrance Day approaches. I wrote about it in my BookMark blog earlier. As I said, we cleaned my parents' bungalow out today. We were up at 6.00 (on a Saturday!!) so that we could be there for the skip delivery. We took mirrors and shelves off... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a beautiful day today

Lovely day here in Cambridgeshire. The sun, though quite low in the sky, is shining and warming us all. There isn't even that sharpness in the air that reminds us that Autumn represents a dim humming and strip of light below the inevitable fridge. I've just walked down to the Post Office to get some...

Don't just lie there!

Born under the star sign of Pisces, I am a natural born daydreamer. I'm not afraid to admit it nor that I have a gentle personality that I hope is warm and accessible. However, it does come with in-built insecurities! It isn't always an advantage to be intuitive about things or to see so many... Sign in to see full entry.

Awake

I imagine many of you will have been awake for some time, with the US Presidential Election taking place. For those who weren't awake and watching events unfold, I bet you will be wide awake very soon! From an English perspective, we're obviously tuned in to the major issues if not the subtle...

Overwhelming

Firstly, thanks so much to everyone who commented on my blog yesterday. I know that we can choose our outlook, however much the idiots and the evil tries to shape us otherwise. I felt as though I was among friends when I came back to Blogit and it really, really helps. To be honest, yesterday was... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the grind!

Back in the office this morning, already dealing with petty squabbles and political posturing. Isn't is a shame that the little people I've spent the last two days with, playing games and having fun, should turn into adults? I hope they won't grow into the kinds of people I have to put up with here... Sign in to see full entry.

Blowing those cobwebs away

After yesterday's disturbing story about short-sightedness, I'd like to thank you all for your comments. They were much appreciated and I've shared them with Susan. Certainly she'll not only be aloowing but encouraging the child to dance but her eyesight problem will mean she is restricted as she... Sign in to see full entry.

Make allowances for disability

As regular readers will know, my wife runs a community-based dance school: Samara Ballet School. She started it from scratch when we first moved back to Eas Anglia over fifteen years ago and it is now bursting at the seams with young boys and girls wanting to experience the joy of dance. She doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Cromer beckons

I've been on holiday for a couple of days as it is half-term week for the children. Last night we had a friend round and played a really silly game called 'Categorically Speakning.' You have to select categories and then random letters that become the first letter for that category. For example, the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gardener's Cottage

As regular readers will know, we have a property called Gardener's Cottage which was our home from 1993 when we first moved back to the Cambridgehsire Fens after ten years in London. We put a lot of hard work into it, renovating it completely and converting two farm cottages into a lovely family... Sign in to see full entry.
