Wed 28 – Thurs 29 Sept 2016 So my time in Torrox continues and it is amazingly civilised living. Nothing OTT, just the simple pleaures of sleeping, reading, coffee and eating all topped off with a traditional Spanish pueblo atmosphere and lots of sun. Indeed, I keep losing track of the days. Fortunate that I Read More…

My journey to Spain and arrival in Torrox
Tues 27 & Wed 28 Sept 2016 Daily blog time Found out that one of the authors I most admire, Christopher Fowler, does a daily blog – read it here. That has made me think – why don’t I do that rather than concentrating on a weekly one? So I am going to attempt to Read More…
Future focused
Mon 19 – Mon 26 Sept 2016 So slight difference to my normal blog in that it’s Mon to Mon rather than Mon to Sun. The reason is that I am off to Malaga to see my old work colleague Philip (don’t call him Phil) on Tues. And was down in Brighton on Sun to Read More…
12 nice things after I came back from Berlin
Wed 14 – Sun 18 Sept 2016 A good journey back to London from Berlin No delays at Tegel which was good because it’s a nice little airport but its smallness makes it a deadly dull one to be stuck at. Flight arrived on time and we easily disembarked and collected our bags probably largely Read More…
My brilliant Berlin holiday reading
One of the reasons I particularly love holidays is the simple ability to spend more time reading and listening to my i-pod.

Folsom Berlin
‘Folsom’ and ‘Folsom Berlin’ are two of the main searches that bring people to my blog. But if you’ve come here looking for salacious stories then you will be disappointed. That’s not my thing. My advice to people going to Folsom in Berlin is simply enjoy the wonderful city that is Berlin and the amazing Read More…
This is what recovery looks like
Why it makes sense to do a mini-blog Seems silly to do a normal weekly blog (running Mon – Sun) so splitting the details about my time in Berlin for Folsom. Thus I am only coverying three days last week, Mon to Wed as it was off to Berlin on Thurs. Normally such a short Read More…
Mum comes out of hospital
All slightly overwhelming last week, primarily concerned with mum coming out of hospital. Though also plenty going on at work that needed to be juggled. I’m left with a feeling of having survived it all and just about kept my head above water. Not helped by mixed-up routines particularly not being able to stay with Read More…
One and two years ago
I am failing in my attempt to do a weekly analysis of my blogs from one and two years ago. But perhaps aiming to do this on a fortnightly basis is more realistic. Hope this helps people who read it in whatever way works for them. It’s a good reflection process for me. One year Read More…
