A long night of memories… I fly back to Jersey very early 1st flight Sunday…. I hope I’m in time.

This needs recreating 🫣

I now spend 5:1 minutes scrolling/reading in terms of a ratio on BlueSky compared to X. Initially I think it was probably 1:1 as I weened myself off X….

This is soooooo me.

Gosh this is a great shot!

Watching the 6 Nations Rugby on TV : England v Scotland (and after a great result for BHAFC 🥳)

Reunited with my boys….. however after 3 mths away my embouchure needs some work

A bleak Thursday in Saltdean Sussex

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Today I finally go home after 3 mths of travel to India Malaysia, and Australia….and I was supposed to be in Thailand for a month but did an emergency swerve to Jersey. Crisis over.

I’ve been here 3 weeks due to a family medical emergency, having diverted here from downunder on my way to Thailand but I’m going home tomorrow…. #Hove

When you see this in the bottom of your glass, OMG 😱 and then realise a tomato stalk dropped in whilst you were making a drink of squash … and it’s definitely NOT a spider!

Walking to St Helier hospital on a chilly face freezing Sunday.

Brighton 3-0 Chelsea. £250 million. A place in the FA Cup fifth round. And now three Premier League points. Pleasure doing business with you as always, Todd Boehly. Happy Valentine's Day #BHAFC

Where did all the Chelsea fans go? 😅

Roses are red Violets are blue Twice in a week? Hey, it’s just what we do. 🤷🏻‍♂️⚽️

Dear Chelsea... Roses are red, The Amex is blue, On Valentine's night, We battered you. XXX

Just another day in Jersey where drivers are very polite……

I like a nice smoked kipper for breakfast.

A Sunday stroll from Beaumont Hill into St Helier oddly though all the other people were walking away from St Helier…..

Being serious, one thing I have just remembered - Kobo is a CANADIAN ebook company. I might do my ereading with them instead of Amazon.
