Six on Saturday here we go again, all good friends and jolly good company. Although I’m not feeling “jolly good company” this week. On the contrary, I am rather uninspired. Dull. Boring. Bored. Perhaps a little bit grumpy. But only a little. Maybe I should ring in sick, but then again I’m away next weekendContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ennui”

Six on Saturday – Conform to Type
For this Six on Saturday I have resolved to conform to type. I will be featuring stereotypically seasonal issues only. Possibly. We shall see how that goes. “What is this Six on Saturday?” I hear you ask. “Have you just returned from trekking in the Amazon rainforest where you set up home with anContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Conform to Type”
Six on Saturday – Brrrrrr!
Happy Six on Saturday to you all! It has been a week of weather; from the unimaginable cold in the North of America to the searing heat in parts of Australia. We had some of the white stuff in the UK too, which has been followed by the inevitable chaos on the roads and theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Brrrrrr!”
Six on Saturday – Dark Weeks
Back so soon? Taking part in Six on Saturday is a splendid way to mark the passage of the darkest weeks, which I am making a concerted effort not to wish away. This wild beast is overseen by our very own lion tamer The Prop. It works like this, he point an upturned chair atContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dark Weeks”
Six on Saturday – Time Flies
Six on Saturday time again. The weeks are passing quickly and soon I will be back at work. I am half looking forward and to half dreading this. I will be very unfit, I am little nervous I will hurt my foot, and it is bloomin’ cold out there! But on the plus side IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Time Flies”
Venus
Torrington Tina came a-calling this morning. After a nifty about turn, we headed off along the coast road, bound for Combe Martin. We parked in the car park above the beach where the waves were heaving white and headed off to seek adventure. Which was possibly a little optimistic as CM was mainly shut. HoweverContinue reading “Venus”
Six on Saturday – Firsts
You cannot get away from “Firsts” at this time of year. Wipe the slate clean and start all over. There is a lot to be said for that. A good approach to life. As the year tootles along these firsts will become fewer and far between, but not yet. And today was full ofContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Firsts”
Slow
Today was just what a winter’s day should look like, an identi-kit. Cold, but not too cold, golden and tranquil. Perfect for a walk. A slow and short walk of course. I am far from full health, but am equally as distant from my injury. It did us both good, we spotted badger andContinue reading “Slow”
Six on Saturday – Festive Frolics
Today I tentatively ventured up the slippery steps in order to inspect the top garden and take a few photos. And why, you may well ask, would I put myself at such risk? All for you Mr Prop, all for you. Also for all the other Six on Saturdayers and their followers. And for myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Festive Frolics”
Six on Saturday – Immobile
There have been happenings this week. Those who have missed out on recent events can find all the juicy details in my post A Different Boot. Ok, it’s not terribly juicy, but I was trying to entice you in. Will this accident keep me from my Six on Saturday obligations? I think not. I amContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Immobile”
