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 […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and miserable. It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week.
