Sometimes that pesky muse can be somewhat elusive! Finding a subject for the daily doodle can be a bit of a search…

And even more special as we were building something for his step-sister’s bedroom. And it worked. And she loved it. Win.

You play building games with them when they are young - it’s great when they return the favour!!

And I have to say, one of the most faff-free journeys home ever. No delays, no queues, and a nice brisk walk by the lake… even my bag was one of the first off the carousel!! It’s a miracle!!

Come the spring I really want to get out and pair as well. Here’s hoping… I have a new style I want to try out.

He has eclectic taste. Likes digging to my old collection and has just started buying his own, new stuff. Fascinating watching his choices form. I love the echoes parenting presents us with.

Trying once again to attempt to get fit. Really dropped the ball badly these last few months and goodness me, can I feel it! I know, as I get older, it gets harder every time I restart, but I REALLY need to find the will power to push through.

I always find myself choosing books I wouldn’t usually buy, lovely and cheap - and discovering all sorts of unexpected treats. Today I treated myself to a couple of murder mysteries. Fun times ahead!

Another fantastic evening at the
#johnruskinprize
private view. As a Big Draw patron it’s my honour to be invited each year. Such wonderfully diverse creations. The Big Draw is an amazing charity and very close to my heart.

So I chucked it in a pan and heated it up. It was yummy but kinda defeated the object of a nice hot dinner ready when I got home!! Stupid new slow cooker and its complicated timer!!!

Something I don’t do often enough - reading in nature. A combination of two of my favourite things that I should really try and make a habit!

Making the most of it while I can - so far this year some Agatha Christie short stories, Bill Bryson, a Morse novel and now Natural History of England. Also, book 10 in the Slough House series on audiobook (and currently Bob Mortimer’s The Long Shoe). Happy me!!

You just never know what’s round the next corner. After becoming a widower I vowed to be open to all opportunities: to never waste a day, to face any new challenges. It’s led to some truly remarkable experiences.

It’s funny how something you are dreading can turn out to be such a pleasure. It’s all about context really I suppose. It was so nice to spend time doing something together, especially when she was so happy with the final result.

Then followed by 20 minutes of sweeping and vacuuming because, you know, bare feet and all that. There’s bound to be a bit hiding somewhere too…

Nothing very special - just little things like adding sun-dried tomatoes and garlic to roasted peppers. Tiny touches to liven stuff up. It’s always fun experimenting with new combinations…
