Hawksey Good Results
We went to see Mr Khoo last week, for the 4 monthly check up based on H's blood test. Pretty good news overall – H's testosterone has risen to a very good level, and the PSA level has also risen, but – thankfully – by a much smaller amount. So it isn't mirroring the testosterone…

Happy Harrogate Christmas
Just on the big Choo Choo back from a fab three nighter visit to Harrogate, to stay with David & Mandy. Terrible weather but nonetheless a lovely few days, chatting, eating, cooking, walking (not a lot!), wandering indoor garden centres etc etc. …

Rajasthan – What A Blast!
We are back from India and I have finally whittled the 500 photos down to a mere 400 and then to a random selection to pop in here. So many sights, experiences, people, colours, festivals, odd moments – and quite a few smells, which luckily don't translate into a blog.. We kicked off in Jaisalmer,…

Shaun Hunting and Other Odd Things
Of course it would be sunny all the way down to Hove to start the Shaun (the Sheep) by the Sea trail – and then honk down the second I leaped out of J's car to go find the first Shaun somewhere on the coastal boardwalk. This first shot was taken at a jog from…

Birthday week
Well, it was another good one! 55, can you believe it – always amazed to have made it to another milestone, even if it has unceremoniously thrown me into the slightly less than desirable 55-64 age band… Lots of great social stuff including supper out to…

Autumn Delights
What a huge honour – I managed to ram myself into Fi & Rich's social diary and become the first overnight guest at their AMAZING new pad in Henfield, Sussex. They have a long old drive and acres – actual acres! – of land, including meadows, a separate big building with garages and rooms above,…

Life After Mojo
Well, it's obviously been a bit of a shitty week, while I've been trying to adjust to not having my Mojo with me any more. As any pet owner will know, you get very used to seeing them in their favourite spots, and then in a few surprising ones too. So when Maddie walked into…

My Beloved Mojo
Yesterday was a terrible day, as I had to say goodbye to my utterly loved little furry companion of the last 15 years, Mojo. She had been off colour for only a week or so, but declined very quickly, which in retrospect was a blessing for her. She'd stopped eating, apart from taking a little…

Random Week of Bits & Bobs
Had a good last week or so, making the most of the last few days of summer (boo hoo), starting with a day at the cricket with H, Claire & Jon. Good to have a chance for a proper catch up, and the cricket did at least stump up the excitement of Ben Stokes' record,…
