Looking back, over my shoulder
Not a bad view. First attempt at running round the point for a while was remarkably unsuccessful. My legs didn’t like the shingle, then when I paused Runkeeper to take the photo I confused it and it didn’t track the rest of the run. Oh well. Just as well I haven’t actually started the build…
Return to Fuerteventura
A couple of years ago we took an extended family holiday to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands for my dad’s 60th birthday. It was a really lovely week. There are pictures, somewhere, but this is the only one I can find right now. A picture I loved so much I even used it on my…
Stealing dreams
We’ve been living in our current house for 5 1/2 years. It was empty for over a year before that. So, nearly 7 years since Tim’s dad died. Despite that I’d guess we still get a call a week for him, usually related to his shareholdings. The most recent one was the most plausible yet.…

Not quite what I’d expected, from the cover and tagline I was expecting light chick lit, whereas this has a much darker thread running…
Is trying enough?

Watching caterpillars (oh, and Poppy Cat)
Today we started with Poppy Cat. I’m a Poppy Cat blogger, and earlier this year (disgracefully earlier this year) we were sent some of the new magazines to review, along with a DVD of episodes. I have to say that Poppy is a big hit with both the little children, possibly even more so with…
