It’s hard to imagine that I used to write my blog every day. I think I had more time to think then and I seem to have lacked the inspiration to write recently. Perhaps I needed some time to re-charge – last year was very intense. This Sunday I’m hoping to go to the mountainsContinue reading “To the mountains…”

Time to reflect
I’ve mixed feelings about New Year and find it often happens with a sense of unfulfilled expectation. Despite this I feel it’s a useful time to reflect and an opportunity to begin again and a new start to another year. I filmed this late on Christmas eve last year (after a few glasses of wineContinue reading “Time to reflect”
A very merry Christmas
If I’m honest I find Christmas a tiny bit stressful (although I enjoy it). Been a busy week but we’re finally here and it’s good to take a break. Spent a bit of time designing this Privvi promo for the festivities. I find designing quite satisfying and productive and it also relaxes me to focusContinue reading “A very merry Christmas”
The Christmas wreath
I’ve never made a real one so I booked myself into a wreath-making workshop last night. There’s a surprising amount of labour involved and I hadn’t realised how much the damage to my hand would affect this as I haven’t done anything this ‘hands on’ for some time. It looked fine in the end soContinue reading “The Christmas wreath”
Happy bonfire night
I actually made this video for last New year and burnt some holes in one of my sheets making it. It worked out great though. I suddenly thought of it just now and how apt it is for tonight. I’ll need to make a new one for this New Year so I’d better get thinkingContinue reading “Happy bonfire night”
Taking a moment
If you read my last blog post I suspect you may have been wondering if I did get Covid a while back. I didn’t and I have several theories on why: that I had it already, my second vaccine dose was relatively recent and lastly due to having the Pfizer vaccine. I doubt I’ll everContinue reading “Taking a moment”
Dodging the bullet
Seems I’m the last man standing. I thought about using an image of a row of toppling Dominoes but settled on the image of a soldier – because the last 10 days has been a battle of sorts and I have watched most of my friends and their children go down with Covid one byContinue reading “Dodging the bullet”
Small feet?
No, I don’t have really small feet – they are actually a size 8. Sometimes I look at them and think they’re a really long way away. My feet ARE actually further away than most peoples’ and I forget how tall I am sometimes. While out with newspaper colleagues in Prague we met a ladyContinue reading “Small feet?”
Our ‘new normal’
I had an idea for a social media post for Privvi which I’ve photographed and designed. Simple but titled our ‘new normal’. I think we’d hoped that Covid was beginning to subside but then the kids went back to school, unvaccinated and with no masks or any precautions in place. From my perspective it appearsContinue reading “Our ‘new normal’”
Hand gel obsession
London again by train today – this time for my hip as it’s still bothering me a lot. I got messaged by the NHS test and trace yesterday (notification that I may have been in contact with someone with Covid). I suspect it came from the airport and I had to get a PCRContinue reading “Hand gel obsession”
