Stuff This Week #98

As I write this the temperature is slightly lower than it has been and we’ve even got rain forecast for next week. Maybe an end to this constant heat is finally in sight. 🥵

A Relaxing Saturday Hike 🥾

Myself and my wife had some time to ourselves today with our eldest at work and our youngest at a music festival with friends overnight until tomorrow. That means after dropping him off at a friends house we had a day to do with as we wish! No pickups tonight, no pressing chores. Nothing. 👏👏👏 As we were out around Bridport anyway and the Jurassic Coast Road we decided we’d do a walk. My wife…

Here’s my Eclipse Pictures 🌑

We had a wonderful evening. Went to a local field that wasn’t too busy and watched the universe unveil itself to us. With the lighting some of these photos came out much better than I thought they would 😊 Taken with a mix of camera.app and NoFusion. edited with photos.app and Photomator.

Stuff This (last two) Weeks #97

The past two weeks has flown by. So much so that this draft for one week is now a two week update. A whirlwind of work and familial obligations means we just haven’t had that much time to spare. We did find some time the other evening to go for a swim at the beach however which is always a pleasure 😌

Breaking parallel lives

Off the back of Adam of OMG.LOL fame 1 tooting this the other day and me responding I wanted to just talk a little about how grateful I am to have to experience diverse cultures and different people throughout my life. Especially whilst growing up. I grew up in Oldham. A town in Greater Manchester in the North West of England. You probably haven’t heard of it. If you have it’s probably for its 15…

Interrail Adventures : Day 1 : Friday July 3rd : 🇬🇧London > 🇧🇪Brussels

The beginning of our Adventure After months of planning, arranging, and decision-making, our Interrail adventure was beginning. When my eldest son finished his GCSEs, we went on a big family holiday to Japan. When my youngest did the same this year, we asked what he’d like to do, and he wanted to go to Germany. He’s quite the history buff, so we came up with the idea of making it a European trip…

Stuff This Week #96

Back from holiday and tomorrow I will return to work1. This weekend has been about those practical “Returned from holiday” type jobs. Holiday washing has been done. House has been cleaned and tidied. We also emptied and defrosting the media room fridge that our eldest son left open for 4 days without noticing (That was a nice bonus) 🙄

Another week another blur of activity as I sit to write this with a pint of fizzy water with a dash of lime whilst my house is currently 24c and due to get to 28c today. Mini heatwave! I haven’t really taken and photos this week, so here’s a Trio in the garden!
