Sue and I have a day to ourselves today. We’ve both taken a day off work and the children are both away. So for the first time in quite a while we have a whole day to ourselves.
So how are we going to spend today? Well, just like a normal day - with a slight […]

We didn’t get to celebrate our anniversary in our customary fashion for various reasons. For one thing it was on a weekend and we didn’t have the house to ourselves.
In fact, we don’t often have the house to ourselves these days. But yesterday we did. Sue wasn’t working, Son is away this week and […]

14 July 1977 is a day that changed my life. I can’t imagine how barren my life might have been if that day hadn’t happened the way it did.
I had been in a relationship for just over a year and a half. It might not sound long, but from the age of 15 to 17 […]

So…a little update on what’s been happening with us lately.
As Sue said in in her last post we’ve had a few ripples in our pool lately, mostly concerning Son and a girl that he hooked up with about a month ago. It turned out that she had a lot of problems at home and Son […]

OK, I can take a hint. Where did the last couple of weeks go, I wonder?
Things have been a bit quiet with us sex-wise lately. Not non-existent by any means, but quietish by our usual standards. Life gets in the way and all that.
For one thing we are trying to sell our house at the […]

Well, some time over the last couple of day or so (not sure when exactly) StatCounter rolled over 1 million page views.
I guess we’d have got there a lot sooner if I hadn’t decided to take a one year hiatus - and I don’t suppose we’ll ever get back to the traffic that we had […]

I’ve been known to post the odd romantic moon photo so I thought as it’s a lunar eclipse tonight I would post some more. These were taken from our back garden earlier tonight.

The eclipse just starting

Close to totality

Coming out the other side.

Nearly finished
Anyone else notice the moon tonight?

I can’t believe it’s nearly 2 weeks since I last posted anything here…woops.
So what have we been up to? Well, last week we had a couple of days in Spain, visiting Barcelona, Girona and the coastline in between. We had a fabulous time and seemed to pack in an awful lot into 2 days.
I booked […]

Some of you might have read this before..  wrote it a little while ago..
But I thought that I would like to post something that goes a little towards trying to explain just how much I love my Ed.
My love for you is like an iceberg.
Huge.
Beautiful
Unpredictable.
Sometimes I feel frozen and captured, like a tiny fragment […]

Apparently, 7 - 14 February is National Marriage Week and people are being encouraged to ‘blog their marriage’.
To quote from the web site:

What’s happening in your relationship? Is it good? Is it great? Is it tough? Is it appalling?
We want you to tell all for one week, to help to create a snapshot on married […]

He has the most wonderful hands.
When I met him, I asked him if he played the piano. He has those long tapered fingers that belong to an artist. He does not play the piano but those hands and those fingers make such beautiful music when they run up and down my keys, so to speak.
My […]

We are still here - we haven’t disappeared again. Just had a lot on lately and Sue has been unwell since New Year’s Day, first with a nasty chest infection and then with a very bad migraine (neither of which has completely cleared up).
Thanks to everyone who commented on the previous post, especially those who […]

I’m reliably informed that it’s Delurking Week. So for all you lurkers out there it’s time to delurk and leave a comment.
I’m going to be be generous and open this to regular (or even occasional) commenters as well, though.
So whether you’ve commented before or not (but especially not) tell me:

Your name, address, phone number (haha, […]

This is for one of my favourite bloggers, Abby of Girl With A One Track Mind.
If you haven’t been following Abby’s story (then where have you been?) she wrote a book based on her blog and in August the Sunday Times ‘outed her’. They pubished details of her real name, her job, even her mother’s […]

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that our stats suddenly dropped. At first I wasn’t sure what had happened. Then it occurred to me: all the usual traffic that we get from Google had dried up. I thought maybe Google had finally realised that after a year on hiatus there weren’t many blogs linking […]
