Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, slightly sunny, overcast and with showers. Sunday is traditionally a day when I try to be alone in the morning, enjoy quality time with myself, and do what I want. Today was no different; I exercised alone, worked upstairs in my bedroom, and basically just relaxed. My mother was pottering about upstairs, coming […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, slightly sunny, overcast with showers. Our lunch appointment is at 2:15 at the old Wharf Inn pub, in the old Wharf, very close to Lower High Street, Stourbridge. Julie was getting her things together in the morning, and I was doing the same. I exercised in the back garden and enjoyed some gardening, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warm and sunny. Friday marks the end of the working week, and this one was among the craziest days I’ve experienced in a long time. I got up early, had my daily morning chat with Julie, exercised, and skipped— the first time I have skipped for more than a week. Now that I am […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and overcast. It is the middle of the week, and I’m already tired. It’s been a marathon of a week, my birthday week, and it’s still going on. On Saturday, we visited Stourport and Bewdley with Austin and had lunch at the Hop Pole pub, which was decent but not outstanding. Later, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, and it is my birthday. I’m 58 today—where has the time gone? It also feels a little strange that when I look at myself in the mirror, I see someone who looks older. Clearly, I’m not the person I was at 50, 40, or 30, and […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s Saturday, and like most Saturdays for the past month or so, it’s usually something to do with Julie and Austin, the man. The weather is quite nice in England; if it’s not raining, it’s already good. It’s not too warm, but it’s sunny, and at least the forecast […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny with showers. It is curry night at Wetherspoons. Julie likes Indian food, specifically curries, and it is curry night at every Wetherspoons in England every Thursday. Funny enough, there is no discount or special price for Thursdays, and Indian curries are offered all week round during Curry night at Wetherspoons. I woke up […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day I am taking a blood test, the first in a long time. The last time I voluntarily had a blood test was when I was dating Jacqueline over six years ago. However, during my emergency appendicitis operation, several blood tests were likely carried out at […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, following a busy weekend spent going to various places with Julie. A visit to the greyhound shelter to see such beautiful dogs, Wolverhampton, that I haven’t been to for such a long time, and finally going to Stourbridge for a late lunch, early dinner. It was important […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warmish, sunny but slightly overcast. Saturday was an action-packed day, with Julie and me visiting multiple places, some planned and others not. I was tired in the evening, so it was great to get a good night’s sleep of more than six hours, which is really beneficial for me. I was up quite early […]
