#countdowntocoll...

Another WOW - 3 months since my last post!!

Must keep up to date!!

Right, hows my #getfitordie part 3 campaign going?  Not too bad, weight loss could be better, around 5 lb, (and would be if I kept off the ale 🍻😀)

Haven't done a lot of walking, but I am running, well run, walk, breathe, repeat!!

Saturday around Chesham, yesterday around Bengeo/Stapleford/Waterfod Marshes...aim is for around 6.50/7 min per km...getting there, but I can't yet say I actually enjoy running!!

Anyway, yesterday we had another grand afternoon feast with D & J....diet, what diet!!

Time for an update...

Sat here in Eastbourne in the sun, having a coffee, next to the English Channel, with a whitewashed pier in front of me...having just demolished a fairly sizeable Full English Breakfast and thought this would be a good time to update the world on the world of Fazey-Wood.

We've had a grand couple of days here, best part being no one else around! Yesterday it was damp, squally but distinctly not miserable.

Had a great wander down the front...

A wet esplanade :))

And along a wet, empty, very atmospheric pier...

Don't Jump....said the sign!

Italian for supper after an afternoon of drinking and reading and chilling :))

Avocado & prawn salad

Calzone

Scrumptious being the word of choice...



Next move, after Suzie has finished her mooching around the charity shops, is to have a gander at Beachy Head, then home via Mother's.



It is a bit nice here though, can see why people come back...

Merry Christmas To All...

Are we ready for Crimble...NO..well, nearly :))

• Pickles made...Check
• Christmas cake made AND given drinks... Check
• Shopping list made...Check
• Venison (YES!!!) ordered...Check
• House tidy...err no
• Decorations up...err no

It IS the intention to have as much HOME made 'stuff' as possible - so lots of baking, cooking and all to be done in the inimitable style of the late and much

lamented Floyd - pass the vino please ::)))

Catch up time…..

Last day of term on Friday.  We’re (staff) in the pub, parents are in the park…and this happens…  Thinking of all the children & adults involved, especially the Martin family.

On a happier note – went to watch AFC Wimbledon v Watford pre season game on Saturday – a cracking peter day out.  A couple of ales there, then train back to Waterloo and a wander to Liverpool St via a lovely quiet City…

 

Coffee by Lancaster Place

Close encounter with hungry squirrel at Greyfriars Church…

A chat with this chap…notice the date !!!

Boswell Land…(The Cheshire Cheese by Goff Square..)

Then Sunday……

a birthday lunch with lovely friends, lovely food (cooked by my good self…except for the LUSH strawberry Mouse  - thanx Wifie XXXX) and lovely wine…

It's been a while...

So, where's the summer gone??

How is our life??

Well....generally the summer went fine,

Except the weather in Paris!!

We warmed up with lush coffee & bier...

Had some wonderful food at Chez Clement ,

Summer 2010

Had a GREAT summer..

Saw these...

Had some ale..

Dug a hole...

Cooked some lush food...

Caught a CRAB (her first one...)

looked serious..

had my own sentry...

Enjoyed some cracking company...

camped in peace and solitude....:)

Re Dinner..

Beef was ok...yorkies and roasties..better..BUT the gravy was SUPERB....!!

Life, Sport & Dinner.....

Life....

Life here in the Fazey-Wood household has been strained of late - nothing to do with a soap style crisis between Suzie and Me...just work impinging itself through our little bubble here in the nest.

I'm finding it hard to concentrate on any issue - head is just spinning around like a top at present and it's not nice...just makes it all the harder to get what I'm supposed to be doing in any sort of order - I find I'm just jumping around from one half finished issue to another: not good for me or the children I'm teaching -:(

Suzie has apparently not been making enough phone calls...but she doesn't have to bring her work issues back to the nest and can at least relax here...

So...what to do?

Options are....stop moaning, clear my mind and get on with the graft...get back to the clear and concise organisation of the workload I was capable of doing...or drink more...or seek help to stop the spinning top inside my bonce...-:)

Today it's the first option....

Sport....

Football...

Watford are doing remarkably well - except for the games I go and see!! We're 9th in the table and hopefully secure from a relegation battle...

Went yesterday to watch us play Crystal Palace at their place - I ALWAYS enjoy an away day even we are stuffed (as were see the report here )...train trips...different ales...food (although yesterday I cocked it up, was starving so I opted for fish n' chips then came to the most wonderful aroma of a jerk chicken take a way..I'll have to go back next year to try it out...)

Hertford -a different story here!! Right now we've no chairman (which means no money for ANYTHING)...and no manager after Pablo left ! Mind you, I reckon Scott (who has been running the reserves ) will do okay..if he doesn't want to play anymore himself that is....

Waikato ended up just missing the play-offs in the Air New Zealand Cup...I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching the rugby on a Saturday morning sat in bed....roll on the Super 14 and The Chiefs !!

Dinner...

When (!) I've finished 'THE FIRST OPTION'...it's a superb piece of sirloin beef today - Deliah's in charge..

This is a poor photo of my all time favourite pizza - Calzoni....

First had one in a little pizza house in a place called Goch in Germany and instantly fell in love with them...this one was from a pizza bar in Italy at a place called Sottomarina
