A morning rainbow to lift the spirits…

Reclining… #frontroomairbed #tea #madamegbustling #sundayschmooze

I am preparing mentally, physically and spiritually for the trip up north. This involves tea to start with. And then food. #packing #travelsnacks #pitstopsforapiss

More dental shenanigans yesterday and an aching jaw this morning. On the plus side - the sinuses are golden. #teeth #nosnottiness #howmuch

You can’t beat the 6am ‘yolo’ to the front of the drive in just your dressing gown to make sure the garden waste bin is in place. #missionaccomplished #herostuff #coldappendages

The open beach beckons…

Boss level…

I have risen! I’ve also had a tooth extracted at the same time as recovering from the terribly debilitating man-cold. #goldstar #theuniversehatesme #bloodyhell

Man-plague has struck! This could be it. #ohcrikeythesnot #crikey #morecrikey

Ohh…

I’m out on the bike… … I’m on a pier. #notfloating #notwalkingonwater

A misty hilltop walk…

It’s a pale ale kind of evening… #sofasurfing #backofthefridgefind

Turned out nice…

Asda run complete… … on a Saturday … … in and out in record time … … may have bought some beer … #completedit #needarest

Coffee cup action! #friday #needcoffee #wetdogwalk #blahdeblah

I wake up to a picture from the eldest. ‘Dad, we’re without power’ I think I see the problem…

A bright day at the beach… finally.

Soul cleanse…

Rediscovering old musical haunts…

That was a gammon roll with a scrape of mustard. It didn’t last long enough for the photo. #mustardforthewin

I don’t mind if I do; it’s mandatory to finish-up for breakfast.

Rain day: today’s location…

The bubbles align and speak! 🧐

A decent gym workout includes a warm-down coffee and cheesy straw. #maxtheparadigm #burntheenvelope

Boiler service dude has been and gone already! I shall have to re-calibrate the morning. #wellthen #kettleon

Okay Nespresso, the requirement is simple… I need it intense, hot and leaving the aftertaste that keeps you coming back for more. #coffeesmut

In other news… …the toilet is fixed. #flushedwithsuccess

Bedding changed ☑️ Chilli cooking ☑️ Washing sorted ☑️ Domestic God mode ☑️ Resting on laurels ☑️

Brain weasels defeated with coffee, a crunchy bar and a chat with an old friend. #winning #talkitout #menshealth

The 3.30am restlessness… The 3.30am brain farts… The 3.30am tea…

Time for some filth…

Meaning - It’s all in the froth, or the head, one of the two.

Anyone for tranquil?

Now that herself is safely ensconced on the train I can now prepare for the grand arrival later. #trainappwatch #changethesheets #waitlikeforrest

That’s a second pair of jeans soaked through…. #weather #ahtandabaht

Some days the beach just gives you all that it has and that’s all you need.

Someone’s order for Spring has arrived…

Sunday morning strolling…

Today’s froth action from Nespresso… … there is meaning.

In appreciation of any significant other you may have in your life (partner, controlling interest, coveted, pet, imaginary or otherwise). For me - mine has done immeasurable good to my life 🖤

The beach ninjas have been doing a lot of work again. Plastic measuring cups and container parts litter the beach. Paradise is a little broken this morning.

It’s all part of the workout…

Sunrise. A new day. New possibilities.

Soddin’ rain… #rain #gym #runningfromthecar #wet #mistyglasses #rotatingdoorfail

Just leaving this here for reference…

Sun up on a winter beach…

It’s a little damp out…

Potential lurgy alert 🚨 #paracetamol #lastwillandtestamanet #deepjoy

Sunrise over the south coast. It’s a bit parky out….
