Galeón Andalucía

I suppose one benefit of not posting in a while is having a little backlog of things I can post about. Back in half term (end of May/beginning of June), we had a visit from the rather magnificent Galeon

Welcome back to the beach

As always, it feels like an age since I've been around. Work has been busy and I've been trying to learn some new stuff in the evenings. As if not enough, fingers crossed I'll be a very mature student

Vegetarian Supper: Pasta alla Norma

As is usual this time of year, the BBQ has been cleaned and we've had our fill of meat based meals. Also, as is usual this time of year we've got a little sick of it already 😂. The 11 year old likes aubergine

2024 Book 1: The Queen's Fool

It has been a slow year for me on the book front. Once again my aim is to end up finishing the year having read at least 12 books. I started reading David Copperfield at the beginning of the year, but

Another Sunrise. A different camera.

I was yet again awake early this morning. Actually, I felt like I was awake for most of the night; you know that sleep when you feel like you're aware of everything. My sleep monitor suggests about an

My little guitar practice setup

Well after a few weeks of digging out all my guitar stuff and shuffling things around in my study, I've finally got myself a few areas setup to practice guitar. I'm so grateful to have my own little space

Meet the (guitar) family

Hello Guitar Community! I’ve recently returned to guitar playing following a fairly long break, mostly due to the arrival of my two kids! One is now a teenager and the other isn’t far behind, and I find

Another book done! Something a little festive.

Well, it certainly has been a busy few weeks! I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a jolly good one. I've managed to avoid cooking for the big days so far as my mother hosted Christmas Day,

Another trip to see the seals.

Another morning with a head full of cobwebs and I needed to get out the house. The wife walks the dog on Sunday's so it's the one morning of the week when I'm not up and out. The eldest daughter decided

A morning with the seals.

The last few days have been tough with a little panic and anxiety setting in for some unknown reason. It was rather mild out this morning (and still is), so the youngest and I shot up the coast to see

Monday's supper - pork in cider

Fancied something simple and tasty for supper tonight so went with pork in cider. A simple one pot meal (rice was from a pouch). I planned on using pork chops but the wife picked up pork medallions. They

The Sunday review of the week

I was hoping to be sharing photos of baby seal pups today, but alas that won't be happening. I've been nursing a mild case of gout for the past few days and thought I had it under control. Last night it

A chilly December walk on the beach

I thought it about time Lola and I want for a walk on the beach as I think our last visit must have been during summer. I had to drive her down in the car as her bad leg wouldn't cope with walking from

The Stratocaster is aging well

I'm still positive for covid so can look forward to another few days cooped up in the bedroom. To be honest, I've quite enjoyed it so far ... that is being cooped up, not the covid. It has been rather

Book 12 done! - Berserker

Well, I've hit my 12 books in 2023 target. As I wrote last week, it hasn't quite been a book a month. In fact, that has been far from the case. I decided on Berserker last week with a view that it would

Reading goals - actual factual progress!

I'm pretty crap at actually doing something when I set it as a goal. This has been the case for many years in both my professional and personal life for a good few years now. I seem to have lost the oomph

I managed to do more things! ... and survived.

I got a little excited last Sunday on the basis I woke up early and fancied a run. Now, that doesn't happen often and I don't think had happened in a year or more. I mean I'd neither woke up wanting to

Processing long forgotten photographs. (motorsport and a sunset)

I quite like my Sunday afternoons. I religiously cook a roast dinner on a Sunday afternoon and while doing so, it's a perfect time to get paperwork or other bits done in the study. Yesterday I decided
