Semi-retired….the half that isn’t retired is a gigging guitarist/singer in a covers duo, and keys/ EWI player in an originals band. 🎢 Loves music, quizzing, travel and ice cream. Constantly failing to diet (see love of ice cream)!

After several self referrals in the last year, I finally received an appointment with physiotherapy. The problem is, I don’t know which referral it relates to, so I don’t know which bit of me it’s about!

The photo shows a middle aged woman with long wavy hair which is quite a vibrant red colour. She is smiling and is stood in front of a stone building with trees in the background.

Many people tell me I’m too old to have my hair like this but I love having red hair. :-) #SundayPixRed

The photo shows three baby bunnies, two brown and one white.   Their eyes are sealed shut and their ears are tiny.  They are only a few days old. They are lying in a fluffy white nest.

Our pet rabbit escaped for a few hours. A few weeks later….. #SundayPixBeginnings

Fed up of constantly being cold here. My mission for next winter is to figure out how to manage some heating that works and isn’t Β£900 a month!!

Traditional wooden pletna boats with blue canopies float on the turquoise waters of Lake Bled, with Bled Castle perched on a forested cliff and a church visible among trees under a bright blue sky.

Pletnas are traditional flat-bottomed wooden boats on the stunning Lake Bled, Slovenia. Rowed standing up by pletenars using oars called stehruder, they silently carry up to 20 passengers to Bled Island, a tradition dating to the 1500s.

Oh no need to apologise! :-). X. It was a #Sundaypix post for β€˜birthday’. It was the only birthday picture I could find. I’m 60 next year so it wasn’t decades ago…I’m just well past 50 now :-). Happily so because it means I’m retired! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸΎ

Watching a TV programme I recorded off the telly in 1985. Incredible nostalgia.

Feeling very old lately. Also very emotional. Also totally confused as to the day of the week. Did I mention feeling old? :-/

This was my 50th birthday. Took a LOT of saving up but….for probably the only time ever…we flew upper class to New York. Virgin gave me champagne :-) #SundayPixBirthday

A three sided football stadium at night. No game and no crowd watching but lit up by four floodlights.

I’m very annoyed that getting a new phone, (had to due to the old one being kaput), prevented me from logging in here yesterday. I missed #SundayPixLights so I’m doing it a day late. Sorry! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I’ve complained to Octopus and have to allow them 8 weeks before I can go to the ombudsman. But I will I can assure you! :-)

I know! It’s 9 degrees in the house. They’ve cocked it all up twice now and I can’t get hold of anyone. It’s soooo frustrating :-(

Still extremely cold here, inside and out. Can’t use heating due to ongoing cockup by Octopus, who are not even answering my emails.

A woman with brown hair sits in front of a brick wall. She has a thick black coat on and a red woollen scarf wrapped around her neck and face, with only her eyes revealed. You can still tell that under the scarf she’s smiling.

#SundayPixWobjects As soon as I saw this week’s theme, I cried. He’s so missed. X. Although we’d spoken a bit, this photo was what really marked the beginning of our friendship and lots of long wonderful conversations. Apparently it’s very me :-). So the scarf always reminds me of beloved Wombat x
