Back To It
The winter holidays are over, so life is on its way back to ‘normal’ again. I had not realized that it had been nearly three weeks that M was off, so this morning when he had to leave early I was a little bit surprised. It also meant that we missed our morning gym time…

Podcast Fav 1: Serial
Just before the end of last year (yes just a few days ago), I made a list of my recent interest in podcasts. While I do have some other topics to write on, I am saving them up for my focus next week…yep, I am getting a handle on planning my posts, even for here…

_The Loney_ by Andrew Michael Hurley
_The Loney_ by Andrew Michael Hurley Looking for a “holiday” read, I saw that this book was available on Kindle. I had been waiting for it to come out since seeing it on a friend’s list of coming books, but then forgot about it amidst other reading priorities. As my first book of 2017, I…

2017 At Last!!!
Happy New Year! Well, 2016 is finally at an end. I already recapped that yesterday, so no need to go there again. We spent yesterday at the beach mostly and then decided to have a nice quiet evening in since neither of us really care about ringing in the new year with a crowd. So…

New Year’s Eve 2016
At last the year is coming to a close. It has been an interesting one to say the least. I have been enjoying some of the Facebook videos about how 2016 has really been a dark year for the world and many people. It is nice to know that it was not just us who…

Podcasts
One of the aspects of being self-employed and customer-oriented is that I spend more time in the car than before – or so it seems. A while ago I decided to stop listening to the radio or much music in the car because it was agitating me even more than the usual driving stress that…

Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the Day After….
For the first time in a while I have started to feel a bit relaxed. Although our troubles have not faded away, we are focusing on enjoying and looking forward to the upcoming new year. Here’s a slideshow video I made on FB of our Christmas Day brunch: We had a lovely time with old and…

12 days of Christmas
On the 14th of this month I posted about our/my new traditions for beginning our Christmas celebrations due to M’s birthday being on the 12th. So, I determined that it is basically 12 days to Christmas from his birthday to Christmas Eve, which means that we can have some fun putting the song into reality. …

Purities
We went to Christmas Carols service yesterday morning at the church where we got married and where we went to evening carol service last year (or was it the year before?). Anyway, it was a nice service, though they sing some of the songs differently – apparently it is the British 🇬🇧 way…. It was…
