Wooah. That took a while. I have spent some time on the very last day of 2023, and in truth a few days after, reflecting on the year gone by. The main way this was done was by looking at all of the photos I have taken from the year. There were a lot of […]
Did I intend to publish this just about 365 days ago? Yes, I did. “Oh I’ll write this tomorrow,” I thought to myself. Tomorrow became next week and then it never came about. There’s always something else to do. Ahhhh. I just managed before the end of 2021 to make a monumental move into my […]
A year ago, back on Saturday 20th July 2019, I had a brain haemorrhage and stroke. It is only now that I feel ready to talk about this. I jest! It is talking about myself so something which I love to do and do all the time. The delay though has meant this has turned […]
I often start my Happy New Year post by saying the year just gone has been “great”, “special” or even “wonderful”, but 2018 has been marked by a devastating loss and it has overshadowed the good times. However, these good times do need to be revisited as now is the time to reflect on the […]
I haven’t posted here on my website for so long. Crryyyy. Why? I don’t know. Well, I do. I have been doing things. Ok, that sounds loose. And the other reason is that I always think that producing anything takes so long. Imagine the editing and editing and editing that goes into producing anything […]
On this day, around this time, one decade ago, I had a brain haemorrhage. Every year, it is important to me to take the opportunity to thank all those who helped saved my life and who have helped and supported me. To my sister, Tiffany, who was with me and raised the alarm, to my […]
Dear Diary, Back in July, I had a couple of days free so decided I was going to make the most of it. Usually, I catch up on emails, watch some films, some programmes and do some “paperwork”. My definition of “paperwork” is wide reaching but amongst other things, it includes reading articles, writing them […]
The month of January is about to end; the first month of the year of 2016 gone. How did that happen? I’ve “done” January. The year of 2015 was very eventful. But I want to make 2016 even more so. The first month was a relaxed one, but still quite eventful and now I feel […]
Happy New Year 2016. 2015 was a special year. Thank you to everyone who made it so wonderful. Thank you to everyone I met. I won’t tag or mention but you know who you are. Never underestimate how important everyone in my life is. I appreciate you all! Life is short. Life can be taken […]
I try to avoid the lure but with it being just so easy I fell victim. Click, click, click and boom after a few days for a small price arrives some fun. Amazon, please start paying your fair share of tax. Anyway, I treated myself to a new toy. And here’s the “unboxing” video: Power […]
I got one of those balance board thingys. There isn’t one name. It’s a complicated story. It took me a while to get the hang of. Here’s my slightly incoherent review of it: Samuel
On Friday I took part in Critical Mass. I met Tom at Hyde Park and we cycled to meet his friend, Felix and his friend, Thomas and then onwards to roughly assemble for around 7pm. At 7.15pm the mass rolled out. The 1000 odd cyclists that take part in Critical Mass is a spectacle. Despite […]
Hello, I might as well live in London. I was down yet again yesterday (Sunday) with my great cousin, Maureen. I adore spending time with her. But it had worked out with my final year of university that meeting up was put on hold. A final push, and my degree was complete. Summer came, and […]
I talk about joining a running group - Nottingham Frontrunners. A little of my history of getting into running and how Parkrun and Frontrunners have become a set part of my week.
