7 Days: Day 6 – Ode to a Hobnob

I’ve been eating quite a few Hobnob biscuits recently, having re-discovered their yumminess and habit of being relatively high in fibre for a sweet treat. I mean, come on – 0.8g of fibre in one biscuit? It’s practically a leafy green vegetable!

Shepherds’ delight

There have been some wonderful evening skies recently, one in particular turning bright, startling pink in just the few moments I had turned my back to it, giving me quite a start when I turned back to the window. These pinks and blues have become quite commonplace for the moment, which is rather nice – [...]

NYC: Travel bugs and strawberries

Two things I wanted to do on our Central Park day were visit Strawberry Fields and deal with John and Sam’s geocache travel bug. We’d found a geocache on the west side of the park and thought it would be a good opportunity to take the travel bug that John and Sam had found in [...]

7 Days: Day 6 – Tired

My sleep hasn’t been the best recently. Mostly my own fault though, so don’t feel too sorry for me. That said, while playing shape games on my iPod might keep me awake at night and come under the heading of “my own damn fault”, I don’t think it warrants weird dreams about family members coming [...]

7 Days: Day 3 – Quick lunch

Lots going on this morning, I’ve already fallen behind on looking at photos and I’ve been busy translating and making quotations and answering the endlessly ringing phone and corraling invoices for hours. So having finally managed to stop for a moment at half past two, I thought I’d have a quick, nutritious lunch. Made of [...]

5km/h and £48/km

It’s Thursday now and my thighs have just about forgiven me for last Sunday, when I made them walk 5km around Dunorlan Park. Though they were not too upset at the time, by the next morning they’d had time to think about it and decided that, thank you for your interest, but there should be [...]
