August Gratitudes
I’ve been busy since I got home, but thought I’d squeeze in a little update with the first half of my August gratitudes.

We Are Home …
I loved our time away, but there is nothing like coming home—dinner with our daughter, Riley sleeping on his mat, or sniffing all the things on his morning walk, saying hello to people we know in the street, and best of all my own bed. After dinner and my coaching call last night, I had…

Five on a Friday
I finally decided to hit buy on a Kobo. I was so excited when I got the notification that it had arrived on Monday and hopped on my bike to pick it up from the post office. Once home I unboxed it and it was basically a brick, with a non-responsive language selection screen showing.…

I’ll also be enjoying time just relaxing and plan to have a few of my internet free days. We will celebrate our 29th wedding…

12 on the 12th: Thursday 12/3/2026
Continuing a little blog series – 12 photos taken on the 12th of the month. I try to take a photo every hour, but inevitably fail at some stage during the day and have to take a clump of photos to make up for it.

2026 FIG Collective – Week 4
I’m joining with lots of others in looking for little joys in the month of February. For all the details pop over to Elisabeth’s blog. Monday 23rd. I have a few for today, so bear with me: Tuesday 24th: I got back to the personal trainer after a few weeks off to recover, and wasn’t…
