A lazy start to the morning, woken by a bird with hob nail boots on clattering across the roof, squawking its head off. Cup of Builders with BBC news, starts the day off but does nothing to lift the spirits. We’ve got a day off today, so as soon as I’ve supped my tea, there’s... Continue Reading →
Lockdown Day 2 – Staying Healthy, Getting Healthy
The skies are blue again as I tuck into my cereal and yoghurt, minus fruit, we still haven’t been able to go shopping. The road outside the site still seems to have a constant hum of traffic, where is everyone going! Into the office, first cuppa of the day. Strong builder’s for me with a... Continue Reading →
Lockdown Day 1
In these strange and uncertain times I’ve decided to try to do a diary blog of our time in lockdown whilst self isolating at work. Can’t promise enough will happen day by day but let’s see how it goes. Yesterday was hard, we started the shift 'business as usual' with some additional hygiene tasks to... Continue Reading →
Our New Home for 2020 is…
I haven’t slept a wink, I think I’ve seen every hour of the night. My brain buzzing is with a list of things to do. It’s been like sitting at a computer with a thousand tabs open and unable to close any of them down. Tabs open for things I need to pack, sort, put... Continue Reading →

The sun is beating down, our walk along the front has led us to a complex advertising a poolside bar, open to all. In need of liquid refreshment and a napkin to wipe my sweaty brow, we venture in, pick a table in the shade, order a couple of Sangrias and sit back hoping to... Continue Reading →
Selling Out of a Crisis
With our house on the market for sale and a few jobs to do, The Boss decided to use our free time before Christmas to do a bit of touching up here and there. I took this as my leave to do a bit of shopping, that way I don't have to listen to his... Continue Reading →
Brighton – First Trip of 2020
We've been home for too long, 5 days is a long time. Trying to get my head round what to pack and my brain is going into meltdown. I'm bound to forget something. We've chucked a couple of bags in the car and still wandering around the house and garage staring blindly at piles of... Continue Reading →
A trip to the Circus and an Open Top Bus Tour of London
It's New Year's Eve Eve, god only knows what day it is. It's that time of year when we are all hanging in a state of slumber and alcohol induced coma, who knows what day it is, it's part of the longest weekend of the year, you know, the weekend that starts on Christmas Day... Continue Reading →
