Day 164 – 365 / June 13th 2015 I’m very excited. My favourite actress, Nicole Kidman, is returning to the stage in the West End of London. And, I’ve just booked tickets to see her!
Day 163 – 365
Day 163 – 365 / June 12th 2015 Here you see one of my spectacle cases after Elphie The Mini Schnauzer Puppy decided to pay it some attention.
Day 162 – 365
Day 162 – 365 / June 11th 2015 My passport photograph, originally taken over eight years ago and snapped today by me. Now, given that in the years since, I’ve stopped wearing contacts, regrown my hair and beard and ‘tache, plus the fact I’ve lost nearly two stones in weight in the past 12 months ,I…
LR#31:”Day Four” by Sarah Lotz
My review may sound as if I didn’t enjoy this book. Far from it, I enjoyed it but, disappointingly, I found it to be a little lacking. An ageing cruise ship, The Beautiful Dreamer, enjoys three uneventful days at sea. On day four, the ship suddenly stops and, with no electricity and food running out,…
Day 161 – 365
Day 161 – 365 / June 10th 2015 Our dining room fresh from redecorating. The black leather sofa will soon be joining Liam and Bethany in their new apartment.
Day 160 – 365
Day 160 – 365 / June 9th 2015 Books. I love them. This is our one of two old bookcases that I have repainted over the past week ahead of finishing redecorating our dining room. Now, freshly adorned in a subtle, metallic gold coat of paint (three coats, actually, plus varnish) they are in their new…
Day 159 – 365
Day 159 – 365 / June 8th 2015 This is not my usual attire. I’m sure many of you will be shocked to see me in firstly, a tee-shirt and, secondly, a sleeveless tee-shirt. Not withstanding the fact that the tee-shirt is covered in paint. I have been decorating and these are my decorating clothes. Even…
Day 158 – 365
Day 158 – 365 / June 7th 2015 Why is it when you decide to decorate that the old colour scheme suddenly looks absolutely abysmal? This picture is of the dining room part done. The ceiling and woodwork have been freshly painted. The two shades of green will soon be replaced by a smashing new wallpaper,…
Day 157 – 365
Day 157 – 365 / June 6th 2015 Two of my loves are the subject of today’s image. I love reading and here is the latest of my TBR pile – To Be Read – of books. That’s one of my loves. The other is Rupert Bear. As a child he was my favourite. I got…
Day 156 – 365
Day 156 – 365 / June 5th 2015 Friday. A pleasant evening. A “dog friendly” pub about 15 minutes walk away. Why not take a stroll? Here we are; Bethany leading the way with Maggie The Mini Schnauzer, closely followed by Elphie The Mini Schnauzer pulling Sarah along as she attempts to get to the front….
Day 155 – 365
Day 155 – 365 / June 4th 2015 My Midas themed bookcases. Freshly painted and hardening off in the sunshine before beginning their new life in our dining room. They look like big bars of gold. Shame they aren’t.
Day 154 – 365
Day 154 – 365 / June 3rd 2015 Why is today’s picture of my left arm? Well, today is the last day you will ever see it as it currently is, i.e, without any ink. For today, Tommi begins to tattoo my next sleeve. Excited is me.
Day 153 – 365
Day 153 – 365 / June 2nd 2015 This little note greeted me as I sat down at my desk in my office this morning. Left there by my lovely wife, it put me in a good mood for the day.
Day 152 – 365
Day 152 – 365 / June 1st 2015 A montage of our old wooden bookcases after I have revamped them ready for use in our dining room. This metallic gold paint, whilst it looks good, is a devil to use.
