    Travelled to Milan today to go to a concert tomorrow night! The train connects at Florence to go to Milan and it takes longer to travel from North Tuscany to Florence than it does to travel from Florence to Milan on a high speed Italo train. I went with one of my daughters and we…

    I’m having an early night tonight. I’m off to Milan tomorrow morning by train. I love train travel and this will be my first long journey by train since the pandemic. Another great thing about train travel here where I live, is that it’s affordable. It’s a win, win situation! I’ve had a bitty day,…

  • It’s Sunday Again!

    Today began with me waking with a start. I slept well, mainly due to my working on the ceiling panels which absolutely knocked me out. It made me realise that I’m not as fit as I should be! I never set my alarm at the weekend. I believe that I should wake up naturally so…

  • An Afternoon Out!

    I’m rather partial to a day out, an opportunity to change my routine, so I jumped at the chance of going to the nearest city. Work as usual at first but I took the afternoon off. After a quick business lunch at, would you believe, the cafe of the local large supermarket, I went of…

  • Studio Clean

    I almost forgot to write my blog this evening. I’ve had such a quiet day. There was no rolling out of bed and rushing out a bit late. It’s all been very leisurely. I worked more than I wanted to but I also got to clean my art / craft studio which my son has…

  • New Glasses Buying Online

    I took delivery of two pairs of glasses today. Both ordered on line and both not only from different online stores but different countries. Neither of them either my native country or where I live. I went for an eye test a couple of weeks ago. I have needed to go for about six months…

  • Thinking Back, Memories

    Today started with a warm calm feel to it. When it’s like this I will go onto my balcony and take in the view. Silence is never really silent. We don’t get much traffic noise up here, I guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing. Do you ever see a clip of…

  • Sunday, Family Lunch And Gardening!

    Today started quietly. I slept later and when I did get up, it was straight into work. Yay, there wasn’t much for me but I do get some at midday so I can’t really start anything else until it has come in and been finished! Sundays mean family lunch. Well every day is family lunch…

    Quick post today, I’m just off to bed! The day began, as ever, with work. Then a quick dash out to collect my missing sd card and to get a couple of things to get us over the weekend. A rush back for lunch then setting up my new camera. A neighbour was burning garden…

  • I’ve Got That Friday Feeling

    I always love Fridays. It harks back to the days when I worked in a traditional job and had the weekend off. I work seven days a week now but a bit less at the weekend so it gives my week a bit of structure and some time feeling free. Friday is also, as I…
