I've been blipping continuously since December 29 2010, with some back blips before that from my time living in SW France.
Life has changed a lot since 2010, well it does, doesn't it? I became officially (and unwillingly) single. I moved from a flat to a house. Read more...

I've been blipping continuously since December 29 2010, with some back blips before that from my time living in SW France.
Life has changed a lot since 2010, well it does, doesn't it? I became officially (and unwillingly) single. I moved from a flat to a house. I acquired a cat, Molly (my 6th). Sons moved in, sons moved out. There was a graduation and the arrival of one, then 2, granddaughters. I went back to work. I lost a parent. I stopped working.
I have travelled, a lot. In the UK mostly to London for work, holidays to Sardinia, Menorca, Spain and France but mainly to SE Asia to visit the family there.
Some things haven't changed. I still live with Molly and I still love gardening and, but not so much, trying to get fit. My trusty bridge Canon died and I now have a Lumix and a rediscovered Canon 'point and shoot' camera, but mainly I use my phone. Lazy!! Really must get back to serious photography!
Blip has brought me friends, a wider outlook on the world and the ability to look back at around 9 years to see how I've changed, how my family and friends have changed and how I have changed.
Dec 20 - the end of an interesting year. Molly left me in July but then I was joined by Willow in October. My world, that expanded at that start of the year with time in Malaysia acting as a jumping off point to Thailand, Australia and NZ, has now, like everyone else's shrunk to a 3 km radius and Zoom! No longer working but still very busy with Edinburgh College, Apex and the choir. Here's to a better 2021!
Oct 2023 - how time flies when you are enjoying yourself. I've made it out the other end of Covid and life is back to normal. I'm working, contract work, at present 3 days a week and though no longer Chair of Edinburgh College I chair another 2 charities. I'm still singing and acting and swimming (pool, not sea). And I'm back travelling - mainly to KL to see the family but also this year to Majorca and France and Crete. Willow brings me great joy and I have really good neighbours. The family all seem further away. Life is full of ups and downs and I'm trying to focus on the ups.
