Happy Friday everyone and hope you all had an enjoyable New Year and that 2026 is good to you!

Now, last night I had a really lovely New Years Day Steak Pie dinner, bought from a proper local butchers shop. It was wonderful to say the least and a Markies Apple Crumble with cream to finish it off. No alcohol as I rarely drink but a nice big coffee afterwards

My goals for this year are to lose a little weight/trim up a wee bit, increase my daily steps from 10k to 15k and go on some some local UK/European trips but I have at least one BA long haul planned already, about to pull the trigger. Other than that I'm living a quiet ish life and enjoying being back to 'retirement' but a little part time job to keep the old grey matter might happen later in the Spring.
