Now we're in the new year I finally have a bit of time to post my pictures from my trip to Italy. Only three months after the event, which isn't that bad for me!

I have returned from Italy! I actually returned five days ago but haven't been online much cos one of the things I brought back with me was Covid. Joy(!) At least I got it at the end of the holiday and not at the beginning, cos this would have really put a damper on things. I spent a couple of days feeling pretty terrible, and while I'm getting ( Read more... )

I'm going to Pompeii tomorrow and I'm so nervous. Normally the day before a holiday I'm really excited and looking forward to it, but this is completely different from anything I've ever done before. To be honest I mostly feel sick and like I don't want to go. I just hope I can get over that feeling and relax enough to enjoy myself. I think ( Read more... )

For many years now I've been going on holidays with Paul. We haven't done much in the way of travelling recently thanks to that pesky plague that pretty much shut down the world for a while, but it used to be a regular thing for us.

I also made pizzas from scratch which turned ( Read more... )

A few months ago I apparently lost my mind and agreed to run a 7k in May. Two days ago I ran that 7k ( Read more... )

Over two months since my last entry. So much to catch up with. (Not really, mostly just continuing to sort out Dad's estate but also a holiday and a haircut...)

I have returned from the Emerald Isle! And I think my experience can be summed up in three words ( Read more... )

Well, me and five other people. We did one of those Escape Room mysteries where you get locked in a room and have to find clues and solve puzzles to open the door within an hour. It was so much fun! And, best of all, I wasn't completely useless! One of my main worries going into it was that I wouldn't be any help and would just tag along while ( Read more... )
