Tuesdays

Tuesdays have always been associated with grace, refinement, and courteousness. Children born on Tuesdays are believed to be full of goodwill and elegance. As the old adage goes — Tuesday’s child is full of grace. While I may not always embody elegance or refinement, I try to be courteous and have a big heart. You may be wondering why I am talking about Tuesdays. Well, I was born on a Tuesday in…

Can't Sleep

I woke early—circa 4:30 a.m. and could not get back to sleep. I still feel rough and have a sore throat, a cough and intermittent headaches. I’ve had this since the start of the year. However, I need to start working on something, but what? David Live

It's Monday!

Monday morning, I’ve made it through to another week! I have lots to do, but I am still determining what I will do—I like to start each day with an open mind. I should crack on with Cruisez; however, I want to cogitate over one of several website concepts floating around my brain. Let’s see what happens. David Live

Toast for Breakfast

For breakfast, I’ve been a bit naughty! I had toast, which isn’t a good idea for someone on a low-carb diet. However, we had some leftover bread, and I hate waste. Plus, I need to restock with ground almonds to make my low-carb bread, David Live

Phone Call

My daughter called my wife this morning to discuss arrangements for next Sunday. We are going to a pantomime. Oh, yes, we are! She also gave an update on the girls—they went out for a meal last night and apparently ate well. Good to hear. David Live

David's Cogitation Space

A New Place to Play The introduction of Cogitate Space says: “Cogitate Space is where I can think about things and write them down—OK, type them. It is still in concept mode; however, I aim to use it for many things, from writing to creating other concepts“. It’s my new place to mess around with things. However, since creating my cogitation space, I have run out of ideas—why does that always…

Fish & Chips on South Parade Pier, Southsea

The final part of our Trip To Portsmouth was a family meal at the Deep Blue restaurant on South Parade Pier in Southsea. Geoff and Kay turned up first, with Bailey Rae—a Teardrop Chiwawa. We were at the top end of the pier, and Evie and Maisie excitedly rushed over to Geoff and Kay. However, I think Bailey was a big part of their excitement.

A Trip to Portsmouth

Our plans for the day didn’t go as expected. We decided to take the girls on a train to Portsmouth, as they had been asking to go on a train for a while. We had our lunch in Victoria Park as we had planned, but unfortunately, Maisie ended up getting a blister on her instep. Read more on our Trip to Portsmouth.

Today is Finally Here!

Today is Finally Here! Today is finally here. The day I’ve been dreading. Evie’s last weekday with us until half term. And my regular morning cuddles watching Cbeebies will be a thing of the past. The last few years have flown by. There are many memories and great moments—like her first crawl to knock over a stack of toy cups…

My 34th Wedding Anniversary

Thirty-four years ago today, a rather handsome young man got married—I also got married that day to Ruth. The clever ones of you will now realise that it is Ruth’s and my thirty-fourth wedding anniversary. And yes, Ruth knows she would have received less time for murder. However, we are still together… 34th Wedding Anniversary: How Ruth and I Met!

A Big Day for Evie

Today is a BIG day for Evie; she starts school. And with that, my life will change forever. My morning cuddles will now be few and far between. For almost four years, I have been the luckiest grandpa… A Big Day for Evie

Windmill Campersite, Isle of Wight

I have written a little review about Windmill Campersite on the Isle of Wight. However, the review is more of an outline than a full review. There is a list of their weird places to stay, however, I need to add their latest masterpiece a submarine! Yes, you heard that correctly, a submarine! Anyhow, Windmill Campersite, Isle of Wight is a great place to stay.

Microblogging Should Be Easy!

My sentiments exactly!

Although microblogging should be easy—after all, you are only using a few words—it can be difficult. Perhaps the smallness of microblogging creates an “it’s unimportant” attitude in the brain? Who knows?

Today is David's Day

I say, “Today is David’s Day,” but it isn’t. Don’t get confused with Saint David’s day; I am not on about that. I am on about my new blog, which could replace this often unused entity. There is still much work needing to be done on David’s Day. I will update these here in the future. But at least it is now live.

Not Microblogged in Three Years

I can’t believe it’s been almost three years since I last used this site. I was going to add that not a lot has happened in that time. But there was Covid and now the war in Ukraine. Anyhow, I need to get focused and rekindle this blog. After all, the posts are short. Surely I can think of something to add each day. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Keeping a Microblog Going

Keeping a Microblog Going

I’ve decided to keep my new Microblog going as I like the idea of posting little snippets of info. In the past, I would use a blog for a few weeks, usually to test a new theme or similar; then stop. But not this time.

As the name (A Microblog) suggests, it is of a similar nature to this blog; however, there is a subtle difference. On the new website, I am Blogging in 55 Words or Under. On here;…
