Right, here it is: the big running post. I’m aware that not all of you will be interested in running, and I’m really aware that I don’t want this to become a running blog. So I’m going to put it all down here, from start to present, and get it out of my system. Of … Continue reading »
Struggling to Keep Up!
I’ve been struggling this year at keeping up with my reading challenge – or just reading in general. Things have either gotten in the way or I’m just not enjoying the books I’m reading. Until two days ago I’d been struggling with a book about the Holocaust. It seems it was a little too heavy … Continue reading »

Peaceful Times
Yesterday the weather was so pretty that once G Man had finished work we went out for a drive. We headed for Willen Lake but decided instead to make a very short detour to the Peace Pagoda at Willen. We’d been there a couple of times before, the last of which was very cool because … Continue reading »
